Great Gift Idea
Have you ever received a recipe jar? It is a jar filled with ingredients to make yummy things like cookies and cookie bars. There are jars that have the ingredients for soups and other wonderful items. You simply follow the directions attached to the jar and wallah! you have a yummy treat and didn’t have to search your cupboards for the ingredients. You can find instructions for making these jars at places like Gifts in a Jar. Make a few as gifts and watch the recipients smile. They might even decide to share the final product! Yummy!
Here is a jar recipe for butterscotch cookies:
Butterscotch Cookies
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup crispy rice cereal
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butterscotch chips
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup white sugar
To Make the Layered Jar Gift:
Layer ingredients in a one quart mason jar, in the order given. Screw the jar on the lid, and cover with a circle of fabric or a paper doily, held down with a rubber band. Cover the rubber band with yarn or ribbon and tie a bow.

Yum! That is such a great idea that I actually did give these to friends and neighbors one year! I had big plans for this year, but all my supplies are still sitting in a bag! I’m too busy sewing!

I love getting these as gifts, they’re so pretty that I hate to use them. Sounds like a good recipe I may have to try that one.
