Better late than never. I finally got my Mother's Day cookies made and took them to my Mother(s). My mom is my constant supporter and biggest fan and my 'godmother', Auriel, runs a close second. I decided to go with a family favorite... Buttery Oat Tea Cookies. These buttery, chewy, crispy cookies are something that my mom started making a few years ago to add to her growing bake list during the holidays. Part of my gift this year was including a little tag that reads "Free Cookies for One Year". When the jar is empty, they'll bring it back and I'll fill it with something else. (Really it's a great way to rid my house of all these sweets I'm making....) And who doesn't like home delivery for fresh baked cookies?? I've included the recipe below.

I love those jars, who makes them and where would I find them to purchase? Thanks. C
ReplyDelete@LittleBird, So sorry for the delay! I purchased these jars in Target. In the housewares section with kitchen items. I was just there recently and saw that they still have them in stock - super cheap, too!
