My 12 year old grand daughter was lamenting that she didn’t have any money to Christmas shop so she decided that she was going to make all of her gifts this year. She made us the Cranberry Delight Cookies in a Jar. They were fantastic! We were very proud of her.
How many jars does the recipe fill?
Each recipe fills one quart jar.
HOW MANY COOKIES WILL I GET FROM 1 QUART ??
You will get 18 cookies
I MUST BE STUPID. WHAT DO YOU MIX IN? LIKE EGGS ETC. I LOVE THE IDEA THOUGH.
