Even without the nuts, it doesn't fit in a quart jar. Waste of time. -
Didn't have a red bow on hand... but these were delicious Kit!!! The mix of nuts, oats, chocolate... mmmm! I will be buying some nice jars this week to give them to friends and family for Christmas! Thanks Kit!! Editing to add that it made about 30 cookies (guess I made them small!!)
