I have a bag I got from a food bank of sugar cookie mix. That’s all it says on the bag besides exp date. What do I add to it to make the cookies? I couldn’t find anything helpful on google. I’m aware it’s expired but I don’t care, I’m sure they’re just fine. I just need halppppp lol thanks 🙏🏼

not enough info to tell. mix a little up with some water, see if it tastes okay. if not, probably needs butter/oil + egg.
All commercial cookie mixes I know just ask for water to be added. Start out with 60ml of water per 500g of mix and (you can add some additional butter for flavour) and see how the consistency is after 4 minutes of low speed mixing. Once cookie dough consistency roll into log, cut and bake at 180°C for ~8 minutes depending on thickness
It says use by 2022. Probably better to toss it (and let the food bank know they provided an expired item)
maybe read the back of a box of sugar cookies at the grocery store?
but I agree with 1 stick softened butter & 1 Tbsp water or milk … 375 for 10 mins
The mix might have powdered eggs and/or milk in it. Try adding a little water and fry a bit of the batter in a pan and check it. If that doesn’t seem to work try adding an egg and try again.
I wouldn’t eat too much until you know it hasn’t somehow gone off.
Pillsbury sugar cookie mix calls for 1 egg and 1 softened stick of butter.
Thanks for the awards and kind words guys!
I can’t prove it 100% but I’m 89% sure that’s great value sugar cookie mix usually the ones sold at holidays. They come in boxes. I have bunches of them.

Ingredients
– 1 (15 oz.) box Great Value Sugar Cookie Mix
– 1 Great Value egg
– 1/2 cup (1 stick) Great Value Sweet Cream Unsalted Butter, softened
Directions
1. **Preheat** oven to 350°F.
2. **Combine** cookie mix, egg, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix with a spoon or spatula until dough forms.
3. **Scoop** 1 tablespoon of dough and place on an ungreased cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Gently flatten dough as desired.
– For roll-out cookies, chill dough for at least 1 hour, then roll out to 1/4-inch thick using a rolling pin. Cut with cookie cutters.
4. **Bake** for 8-12 minutes. Cool before serving or decorating.
*Do not consume raw dough.*
You could make a dump cake type dessert. Canned pie filling on bottome sprinkle with the cookie mix sliced butter pats on top. Bake till it bubbles.
Many premade cookie mixes will ask for an egg, 1/2 to a full cup of butter, and sometimes a TBSP or 2 of water. This is for American mixes. YMMV for other country’s mixes!
Smell the dry mix if you bother with any real ingredients (other than the water). I’ve seen older mixes go rancid. I’ve wasted eggs and such like that before.
Did you peep that expiration date??? It’s expired by 2 years
That’s what the internet is for…,
Well.. it expired in 2022, so the only instruction needed is to throw it in the trash..
Man I read that as you got a bag of sugar cookie mix from a blood bank and was settling in for the comment shit storm.
It’s premixed. Assume that the ratio for dry ingredients is accurate and add your wet ingredients in proportion to produce your target batch size. Ask any general AI that’s readily available to do the math for you and then portion things out using a gram scale.
It’s expired wouldnt use it.
The fact that a food bank is handing out expired food is kind of sad even though some expired food is actually still just ok to eat.
You can substitute a can of soda for everything you’re supposed to add to a cake mix. I do it all the time. Just the cake mix and the can of soda. No egg no nothing.
