A layered jar of oats, dried cherries, golden raisins, coconut and flour. Add butter, an egg, vanilla and milk to bake about 2 dozen cookies, or give the jar as a gift.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • 3/4 cup wheat germ
  • 1 cup quick cooking oats
  • 1/2 cup dried cherries
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 2/3 cup packed flaked coconut
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  • Add the dry ingredients to a clean, dry 1-quart jar or vacuum-seal bag in the order listed, gently pressing down each layer.

Notes

Add when baking: 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1/4 cup milk. Preheat oven to 350°F; grease a cookie sheet. Blend butter, egg, vanilla, and milk; add the entire jar and blend thoroughly (thick dough). Drop about 2 inches apart. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool briefly on the pan, then on a rack.
Storage: dry mix airtight in a cool, dry place up to 3 months; dough covered in fridge up to 2 days; cookies airtight up to 1 week.
