Six-Layer Cookie Mix
"My seven year old son and I think these are delicious! It's a great gift-giving idea when you put it all together in the jar. I found that a 26 oz. (spaghetti sauce) jar held about 3/4 of the recipe. For that size jar, adjust the ingredients to make 18 servings. Using a funnel makes this a lot easier and less messy. You can improvise with a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper rolled into a conical shape. These can be customized if you're giving them to picky eaters or those with allergies- we left nuts out of one jar :)."

Jar Ingredients
- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats
- 2⁄3 cup brown sugar
- 3⁄4 cup flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup chopped nuts
- 1⁄2 cup chocolate chips
- 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries
-
Baking Ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup softened butter
- 1 slightly beaten egg
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
directions
- In a small bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Layer in order in a jar: oats, brown sugar, flour mixture, nuts, chocolate chips, and dried cranberries. Seal tightly.
- Write or type out these directions and attach to or give with jar: Empty contents; stir. Mix in 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 slightly beaten egg, 1 Tbs. milk, and 1 teaspoons vanilla. Drop dough by teaspoons about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 F for 10-12 minutes. Makes 24 cookies.
- *Note: If you do change this to 18 servings in order to fit in a 26 oz. jar, you may continue to use 1 egg without any ill-effects. It would be rather difficult to use 3/4 of an egg.

I received these as a gift from a student. They were like soft granola bars; a great healthy cookie. I would not substitute raisins for the cranberries for my tastes, but I'm sure others could. I used a cookie scoop and got nearly 30 cookies and cooked for 14 min at 350 degrees.

I am the mother of an incredibly easy to feed six year old. He will try anything! My husband, on the other hand, is one of the pickiest guy I've ever met. Right now we live in Indiana, USA. I LOVE RECIPEZAAR- for the variety, the ease, and the ability to filter by rating, allowing for an outstanding recipe every time!
