Ingredients

¾ cup plain flour
¼ tsp bi-carbonate soda
¼ tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
⅓ cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
⅓ cup caster sugar
¾ cup rolled oats
100 g dried cranberries
¾ cup white chocolate chips

Instructions

To make 'cookies in a jar' you'll need a 1 litre glass jar.
In a small bowl, mix the plain flour, baking powder, bi-carb soda and salt together.
Carefully spoon the flour mixture into the bottom of the glass jar. Gently move the flour around so that you have an even layer.
Gently spoon the brown sugar in an even layer over the flour.
Continue creating layers in the following order: caster sugar, rolled oats, dried cranberries, white chocolate chips.
Close the lid of the glass jar (if you have any extra space at the top of the jar, simply top up with extra chocolate chips).
Print out our free recipe gift tag and attach to the jar with a ribbon (see notes).

Notes

If you would prefer to hand write your own gift tag rather than use our free printable, simply write: Preheat oven to 190 degrees celsius. Pour ingredients into a large bowl. Add 125g melted butter, 1 lightly beaten egg & 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix well. Roll the mixture into balls and place onto a large baking tray. cook for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden.

To create even layers in the jar, use a spoon to gently add each layer of ingredients. You can also use a dry tea towel or paper towel to wipe down the inside of the glass as you go.
