Baked three batches of these today to send to the college kids for Easter. I used chocolate chips instead of the white chocolate and they were YUMMY! Thanks for sharing!

A very tasty cookie! Not too sweet. I am giving this four stars because I mixed them up for myself, rather than following the jar recipe. I do think they would turn out alright even if you didn't cream the butter and sugar together first..

These look absolutely stunning when they are made in a jar with some ribbon and a card. The taste is amazing! My 6 year old nephew said these were the best cookies he had ever eaten.

I got this recipe in a jar from my step-daughter for Christmas this year. They are some of the best cookies that I have ever eaten. Highly recommended!

INAUGURATION COOKIES!!! My daughter wanted an excuse to bring cookies for her class today, so last night, she asked what we could do that's red, white, and blue. I'd made these a couple of years ago as Christmas gifts, and we all loved them, so I suggested making them with red dried cranberries and the blueberry-flavored (thus blue) dried cranberries we got from our local cranberry grower. With the white chips they'd be very patriotic. She loved the idea, so we got up early this morning and made Inauguration Day Hootycreeks. I doubled the recipe and made them just like a typical drop cookie - creaming butter & sugars, adding eggs and vanilla, then stirring in the already mixed dry ingredients (I added 2 1/2 t. cinnamon.) They didn't spread nearly as much as they did when we made them out of the jar, but they still turned out lovely. I can't wait to hear how they went over at school.

These were really good cookies! I loved the combination of cranberry & white chocolate. My husband wasn't too sure about them, but once he tried them, he was a fan! Thanks for sharing.

I've been sending this as Christmas gifts for the last few years and had many people ask for the complete recipe. When I make them at home I cut the sugar in half and it still works very well with all the sweets from the chocolate. My 7 yaer old duaghter was a big help in assembling this year. She was actually "measuring" each ingredient which was not the case last year. Great recipe!

Wow these are really really good. Made a test batch last night to taste them and they were gret. Neverreally ventured out of choco chip cookies so I was a little scared but these were yummy. I followed the advice of a reviewer and blended the sugar w/ butter before adding the egg and everythiing else. They came out perfect but I did have to cook them alittle longer then suggested. I will be putting the sugar in a small bag at top of the jar and recommending the butter be blended w/ sugar before adding egg and everything else. GREAT recipe you all have to try it! BTW I used swirled choc chips with white choco and semi-sweet.

I made these as gift jars for my daughter to bring to school for her teachers. They look beautiful. I used a quart Ball wide mouth mason jar and the recipe filled it to the top with no problems. To measure the 5/8 cup flour, I weighed 1 cup of flour and did the math. So, I ended up using 99 grams of flour.

Oh .. a word of warning. These are some highly addictive cookies. We are small business owners who usually give out approx 50 boxes of chocolates to special customers each year. As the economy has spiraled we still wanted to acknowledge our friends but couldn't really see spending the money this year. So! Decided to give cookies :) What an incredible hit these have been. Two comments I would make are... you can't blend butter and egg 'until fluffy' as the instructions indicate but it really doesn't matter. We just mixed the egg, softened butter and vanilla well and then added the dry ingredients. These are magnificent tasting cookies. Secondly, if you are giving out alot you might as well just include the recipe with... I have gotten request after request for the recipe. Along those lines too.. I think if you have concerns over whether folks have nut allergies and the like this way they can see all the ingredients. (It would be a shame to leave the nuts out if you didn't 'have' to in my humble opinion) So, enjoy these, they ARE fabulous and don't leave me alone in the kitchen with 'em

This was my first time doing a cookie in the jar recipe. I decided to test it out before making them as gifts. The cookies came out great! However, just a side note, the jars do NOT get completely filled. You have some options: 1. Add more cranberries, white chocolate and pecans to the jar. I made them without nuts, since I do not know if the recipients have nut allergies. I added extra white chocolate and cranberries...quick fix. 2. If you bake them yourself, like I did, add a couple cookies to the top of the white chocolate. It is a good space filler. 3. Purchase 3/4 liter jars, and the mix will fit perfectly.
