RECIPE: Christmas Cookies in a Jar

My good friend Gemma Calicdan-Dickerson gave me these cookies when i visited her last October 2011 at Anaheim, California. It was LOVE at FIRST BITE. I knew my children will love these. Gemma even gave me cranberries from costco and chocolate chips.  My children were so addicted that my daughter volunteered to baking the cookies  ;-)

Put sugar in a large mixing bowl

put in the brown sugar

add baking flour, baking powder, baking soda salt & oats

add the chocolate chips (for this recipe we did not include the cranberries because my children don't like it)

drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets
