SWEET COOKIE JAR MIX

This year the kids and I have decided to give our family and neighbours a Biscuit Jar mix. Our time spent in the kitchen is probably no more than the time spent gift-hunting online or at the mall and it’s a great way to get the kids involved and baking is fun! 

Plus the gift of food is personal, easy on the environment, and not likely to go to waste. Gifts from the kitchen are always appreciated. Homemade is heartfelt. Your time and energy, and culinary creativity, are just as valued as that store-bought gift which they may not really even need.

Personalise with a greetings card with your own message and a handwritten recipe on a card and bind them with a jute string, or up-cycled ribbon. 

Here we share this beautiful handmade ‘bake your own’ sweet cherry and white chocolate oaty biscuits……ready for you to turn into delicious, chewy, and perfect biscuit treats. They make for lovely end of year gifts, perfect to take on holiday - all you need are the wet ingredients which you will have in your fridge!
