Last year my wife gave these as gifts for her coworkers. It's a great Christmas gift for friends during the Holidays.
These are two of our favorite recipes.
For each mix you'll need a 1 quart jar and decorative Christmas tags. Attach the tags to the jar with the directions for making the cookies.
You can add a decorative circle of Christmas fabric over the lid. Use pinking shears to give it a decorative edge and tie it on with a Christmas string or raffia.

1 C + 2 TBS Flour
1/2 C Rolled Oats
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
1/3 C Brown Sugar
1/3 C Granulated Sugar
1/2 C Dried Cranberries
1/2 C White Chocolate Chips
1/2 C Chopped Pecans
Layer the ingredients in the jar, in the order listed above.
Attach a decorative Christmas label with the following instructions:
