• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 cup chocolate-covered candy (i.e., holiday M&M’s)
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup cocoa crisped rice cereal
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 quart glass jar

In a 1 quart wide mouth jar, add the ingredients in the order listed. Pack them firmly after each addition with a wooden spoon to tap down each layer.

Screw on the cover and prepare gift tag with instructions:
To make your holiday cookies, cream together 1/2 cup of butter, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 egg in a large bowl. Add the contents of the jar and stir until well blended. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Makes 4 dozen.

Make a rectangle from card stock, decorate it as desired and print the directions inside. Punch a hole in the corner for ribbon, which can then be tied around the jar’s neck or beneath the threads of the lid.
