Holiday gift giving but a friend of mine, who is very organized, sent me this recipe a few days ago. In her note she said that she was going to make them for Christmas gifts and if I wanted more jar recipe mixes she had them.
Holy cow I couldn't get past the word Christmas.
I must tell you I have not made this recipe - but it does sound good. So I'm gonna pass this recipe treat along to y'all...........and ask the question Do you make food items for holiday gift giving?

Since I've been so in love with the rosemary salt I got in San Francisco I'm going to try making that for Christmas gifts. But not until December!!
Yes, I have given this as a gift in the past. I'm not sure how it was received though. I enjoy getting these jars because it is an easy way to try a new recipe and you get to eat them. I LOVE COOKIES!!!
Btw, those sound really interesting. I would definately enjoy that jar!
I've been known to make baked goodie baskets with an assortment of mini muffins and cookies. Which is a bit mental as Australia often hits 35-40 degrees C (95 - 104 F) by Xmas season :P
