Good "cookie in a jar" recipe?
I'm trying to figure out a good xmas present for my cousins and their families that doesn't break the bank. (I'm a college kid in the process of applying to grad school, so money is tight this year). I've decided to give them a "cookie in a jar" recipe (where you give them all the dry ingredients and the instructions to make cookies). It could be brownies or some other baked good too. I was just trying to think of something that would be good for families with kids under 10.
Anyone have a good recipe? If anyone has a better idea for a nice, but under $10 gift, let me know.
