Orange Slice Cookie Mix

Recipes in a Jar

These make great gifts for friends and family for every occasion from Christmas to birthdays, to mothers day's and even just a pick me up for someone who is feeling down.

For these recipes you will need a jar that holds around 1 quart or 1.130 litres.
If your jar is airtight add the ingredients directly otherwise place them into
an airtight or ziplock bag and attach the recipe card instructions.

Tie the whole jar up with some cellophane or add some curling ribbons and a bow to finish off this gift

Jar Ingredients:
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 cups orange slice candies -- quartered (10 ounce package)
Mix together flour, baking powder and baking soda. Set aside. Layer ingredients in
order given in a quart sized "wide mouth" canning jar. Press each layer firmly in
place. Add the orange candies last. It will be a tight fit
