Candy Cookies
In A Jar
A great gift idea for cookies--layer
the dry ingredients in a one-quart glass jar! Attach the preparation
instructions on a label or card. |
 |
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup mini candy-coated milk chocolate pieces
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup salted peanuts
1/2 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Layer flour, baking soda,
salt, oats, candy pieces, brown sugar, sugar and peanuts in a
1-quart glass jar with airtight seal. Cover; decorate jar as
desired.
- Heat oven to 350°F.
Combine butter, egg and vanilla in large mixer bowl. Beat at
medium speed until well mixed (2 to 3 minutes). Add dry ingredients
from jar. Stir by hand until well mixed.
- Shape dough into 1-inch
balls or drop by level tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased
cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets.
Makes 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
TIP: Use within one month
to avoid hardening of brown sugar.
