This is a fun Christmas gift idea that some of my friends will be receiving. I recently read Christmas Jars, a novel by Jason F. Wright. It's a wonderful story about a family that "pays it forward" each year by collecting loose change and sharing it with others in need. Rather than giving my friends a jar of cash (!), I got them each a copy of the book and made some
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie mix in a Jar.
I'm sure most of you have made these cookie mixes before.
They are easy to make and fun to receive!
Here is my version:
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix in a Jar
- 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups quick or old-fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup Craisins
- COMBINE flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in small bowl. Place flour mixture in 1-quart jar. Layer remaining ingredients in order listed above, pressing firmly after each layer. Seal with lid .
- RECIPE TO ATTACH:
Beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter or margarine, 1 large egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until blended. Add cookie mix; mix well, breaking up any clumps. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake in preheated 375° F. oven for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
