Chocolate Chip Cookies You Can Make with Your Leftover Pancake Mix
Even though I don’t usually like breakfast foods, pancakes and waffles are easily my favorites. My parents would get the huge 10 pound bag of Krusteaz pancake mix at Costco. This worked great, until my siblings and I got tired of eating pancakes. Sure it never went bad, but it seemed like such a waste to have pancake mix and use it for something else.
So as it turns out, the things that you can make with pancake mix are not limited to pancakes and waffles. If you ever wanted to use your pancake mix for something other than breakfast, here’s how you can use your leftover pancake mix to make some delicious chewy chocolate chip cookies.
