I think the biscuits mix in a jar is a fab idea and I want to do some!! does anyone have a UK recipe? I have tried converting all the US ones from cups into ounces etc but from what I gather it depends on what you are weighing as to how much it will weigh in ounces so is a bit hit and miss?

I had that trouble too so bought some cheap plastic cups to weigh out ingredients and then decided not to do cookies in a jar and to do something else instead :rotfl: Could you use a UK recipe and layer it into a jar?

yes I was thinking that so will have a look. I think it was the fact that all our recipies start with .cream the butter and sugar' that it was throwing me. will have a look at some recipies the weekend and see if there are similar ones to the US ones weight wise!

The recipe for Millie's cookies on the OS board is a bung it all in the bowl and mix (and the cookies are really fab!), that may be suitable for layering in a jar? I'll see if I can find the recipe...

See post number 2, I can't find the original post but this is the Millie's cookie recipe. All the recipient would need to add is butter and eggs.

HTH :-)

There's one here for jewelled muffins in a jar - but you (or rather the recipient ) will have to add eggs & butter to it. http://www.recipezaar.com/268089
