Cookies In a Jar

Cookies in a jar are a fabulous and easy gift to make for your friends and family. There are heaps of recipies online for cookies in a jar. I made up some yesterday for my friends for Christmas and though I would share what I used. The recipie comes from a site www.taste.com.au. I am going to post the recipie but though it best to credit the creator also.

Jar Ingredients
3/4 cup (110g) plain flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup (75g) firmly packed brown sugar
1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar
3/4 cup (65g) rolled oats
100g craisins (dried cranberries), see variation
130g white chocolate chips

Extra ingredients for making cookies
125g butter, melted and cooled
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

1. Sift flour, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl. Spoon the flour mixture into a 1L (4-cup) capacity glass jar. Top with brown sugar, then caster sugar. Top with oats, then craisins, then chocolate chips. Seal jar. Give as gift.
2. To make cookies, preheat oven to 190˚C. Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Empty jar into a large bowl. Add butter, egg and vanilla. Stir until well combined. Shape tablespoons of mixture into balls and place on baking trays approximately 5cm apart. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, swapping trays halfway during cooking, or until edges are lightly browned. Turn biscuits onto a wire rack to cool. Serve.

To make the tags I just created a 10cm x 7cm documents in publisher I put a chrsitmas picture on one half and write the recipie on the second half, but if you want the site above www.taste.com.au has tags you can print off. So have fun and enjoy they taste very yummy.
