Gifting suggestion:
A jar of dry cookie ingredients makes a sweet gift. To assemble, sift flour, bicarb and
baking powder into a bowl, then spoon into a 1.25L jar. Layer oats on top, then cranberries, white chocolate bits, brown sugar, white sugar and macadamias. Download cookie jar label. Seal the jar and decorate with the label and a tag detailing baking instructions.
