This present will be welcomed by anyone who enjoys homemade cookies. The mix is simple to prepare and the results are yummy. I enjoy decorating the jar lids with fabric. As a finishing touch, I tie on a tag with baking instructions. Ingredients:
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
3/4 cup old-fashioned oats |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1 cup crisp rice cereal |
additional ingredients: |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 egg |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and baking powder. In a 1-qt. glass jar, layer the flour mixture, brown sugar, oats, pecans and rice cereal, packing well between each layer. Cover and store in a cool dry place for up to 6 months. Yield: 1 batch (about 4 cups total).
2. To make cookies: In a large bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually add cookie mix. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks. Yield: about 3 dozen.
