I gave these cookie mixes in a jar for Christmas presents this year along with some homemade bourbon vanilla extract. Vanilla extract is the easiest thing in the world to make, aside from my having to explain to Jon how I used up an entire bottle of Makers Mark in one day. Anyway, layering things in mason jars looks adorable, and everyone likes an excuse to bake cookies. Somehow I managed to miscount the number I needed, because it's hard to count to...5, so I had an extra jar. Oh well, cookie baking is a good snow day activity.
While it's easiest and certainly works to add the mix all at once, I roughly separated the ingredients for mixing. I emptied the white chocolate, cranberries, oats and flour mixture into a bowl before pouring the sugars into the butter and egg mixture. Once the sugar and butter was mixed, I added the remaining ingredients.

1/2-1 cup white chocolate chips
In a one quart mason jar, pour in sugar. Tamp down. Add brown sugar. Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Add to jar and tamp down. Layer in oats, cranberries and white chocolate.
Seal jar and include the following instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
Add cookie mix and mix well.

Place tablespoon sized balls on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
Allow to cool on baking sheets for a few minutes, and then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
