Cookie in a Jar

Great to use as a gift for anyone for any special occasion, the dry ingredients in this recipe fit in a quart glass jar. You can decorate the jar with ribbons, and attach a list of the wet ingredients and instructions, and voila! Especially fun to use as a Christmas gift. These cookies are delicious, just make sure to use real butter!! Occasionally I also make this recipe for myself and skip putting it in a jar.
