This was a surprisingly delicious cookie. I say surprisingly because I almost threw them out when I saw them. However, one taste and I was a "believer". This wonderfully crisp and chewy-at-the-same-time cookie was a huge hit. I live at an elevation of almost 6,000 ft. so I added a couple of tablespoons of flour. I used Cocoa Krispies cereal and everyone at church loved them. Next week we are buying the ingredients in bulk so we can get together and make a couple hundred jars for Christmas Presents. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with the rest of us.

I gave these as part of a gift basket last Christmas. All of the ingredients are pretty hard to fit in the large mason jars; you have to pack down each individual layer. But, they looked great once I got it all in there; the colors of the different layers are very complimentary. I've also made these for bake sales and office events. They always get rave reviews!

I didn't give this out as a gift but I made them with all organic ingredients (except the butterscotch chips) and they were really good! I work for an all organic farm so I used a mixture of spelt, kamut and oat flakes instead of the rice crisp and they turned out great!

These cookies are fantastic! I have made these several times, and they always turn out perfectly. I usually use Special-K cereal (crushed), but corn flakes work equally as well. Whenever I want to bake an extra special cookie for friends or family, this is the recipe I use!

I just made these cookies for my family and a few college kids over to tutor my kids. Wow, I am surprised at how good they taste. I followed the recipe exactly but used regular rice crispies. They turned out pretty flat by they are still so soft. I froze most of the dough so I hope the frozen then baked ones turn out as well. Might have to make these as gifts for Christmas this year.

These cookies taste great! They're not too sweet at all so they're perfect for someone looking for a good cookie recipe without all the sugar. One thing I would point out is not to skip the step that involves pressing the cookies before baking. I usually skip this step myself because I like fat chewy cookies, but these ones don't level out on their own. Hope this helps!

These cookies taste good but I doubled the recipe and only got 45 cookies, I also added more flour as they were too wet and cooked them for 12 - 14 minutes.

These cookies are wonderful! I've made them many times already and everyone just loves them! I usually skip the jar and go right for the final product. I've made them exactly as the recipe states, but I've also made a few changes. I increased the amount of flour from 1 1/8 cup to 1 1/4, just for ease. I didn't like having to measure that 1/8 cup. I also omitted the 1 cup of rice crispys. I ran out of them one day and the cookies were just perfect none the less. All in all, these cookies are 5 stars with or without these changes!

These cookies were delicious. Brought some over to my Mom and Dad, and Picky Dad loved them and wanted the recipe. I must make, but double the recipe for hand outs.

I made several cookie in a jar recipes for holiday gifts this year and this cookie was one of them. My mother-in-law absolutely loved them and the cookies disappeared super fast. Everyone that tried them loved the cookies. I made these one other time and found that people really do enjoy them. They have a great taste and are so easy to make. I will be making these for years to come!

These cookies were great. Very nice texture; not to soft or crunchy. I used 2 cups instead of 1 1/8 cups flour. The first time, the cookies had no shape at all.

These were some of the BEST cookies I ever made using this recipe as an outline I modified it, while making the "test batch". I put all the dry ingredients into a bowl in this order: 1 1/8 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 cup flaked coconut 1 cup cocoa pebbles (chocolate rice krispies) 3/4 cup chocolate chips 4 tablespoons cocoa powder Mix dry ingredients with hand beater, add 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 egg & 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix well with beater, form with hands into walnut sized balls, slightly flattened. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes. They taste like chocolate macaroon cookies...I am definatley going to make these for gifts this year!

My sister gave me this recipe in a jar about 5 years ago and I have been making them every year since! These don't look like they will bake up correctly when you put them on the pan but they come out perfect every time. DELICIOUS!

Made as directed with seasonal fabric and it DOES make a beautiful gift. I made them for the volunteers at the church. They were well received AND delicious, too. Now it's October '07 and I'm getting ready to make these as gifts again. So what does that tell ya? MAKE THE RECIPE!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

I made these for Christmas gifts and the cookies were great! I used rice crispies for the cereal and put it in a clear baggie on the top to keep the cereal crisp. The people who used the cookies said they were so easy and the cookies were delicious. These are a great gift!
