• Prep Time: 10 minutes

• Makes 30 cookies

Ingredients

For 1 litre capacity jar.

• 100ml SPAR white sugar
• 75ml SPAR pure brown sugar 
• 61g box Smarties 
• 250ml (120g) SPAR cake flour 
• 1.5ml Bicarbonate of soda 
• 175ml SPAR breakfast oats 
• 175ml Caramel or chocolate Rice Krispie cereal 
• 175ml Coconut 
• 40ml Cocoa powder

Method

1. Wash the jars and lids thoroughly with hot soapy water, rinse and ensure they are completely dry before use.
2. The entire list of measured ingredients must all go into one jar otherwise the proportions will be incorrect when mixing and baking later.
3. Collect these ingredients together and carefully measure into each jar, in this order, to create compacted, visually defined layers, reaching the brim to prevent the ingredient layers mixing.
4. Cover with a square of wax paper and close the lid securely.
5. Include the mixing and baking instructions provided, and print onto a Christmas tag attached to the jar with ribbon. A paper or Christmas fabric doily will hide a branded lid effectively.

Baking Instructions (for label)

3. Roll large-marble-size balls and place spaced apart, onto greased oven pans. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Transfer to cake rack when slightly cooled and firm enough to lift.
4. Yield: 2 ½ dozen
