This cookie mix, layered in a quart jar, makes a great "teacher",
grandma, or "hostess" gift. My children love making
this mix and we have received many requests for this recipe.
Layer ingredients in a quart sized canning jar in the following
order:
1 cup chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
1 - 6 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1 cup Butterscotch chips
1 cup flaked coconut
1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs (in a separate bag on top of
other layers)
To give as a gift, place the lid on the jar and cut a piece
of fabric in a circle which is several inches larger than the
jar lid. Pinking shears make a nice edge. Secure the fabric to
the lid with a rubber band. Add ribbon or raffia bow. Attach the
directions for baking the cookies to the jar with a ribbon or
raffia.
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or 325 if using a glass dish). In
a 13x9 inch baking pan, melt 1/2 cup butter. Sprinkle crumbs over
butter. Top with remaining contents of jar. Press down firmly.
Pour one can sweetened condensed milk over all. Bake 25-30 minutes
or until lightly browned. Cool thoroughly before cutting into
bars. Loosely cover any leftovers. Makes about 36 bars.
