Gifts in a Jar, Part 2

I am very sorry...I just found out that most of the recipes on this page were from a copyrighted book entitled, "Cookies in a Jar" by Jackie Gannaway. The two recipes left on this page were the only two that were not from that book. If you are interested in the recipes that were here previously, you can order the book directly from Jackie. It costs only $3.95 and you will love it! $1.50 shipping and handling.

Her phone number is (512) 477-7070

Or you can write to her at:
PO Box 50053
Austin, TX 78763

She also has a couple of other mix books and other cooking books.
Ask her for a catalog! (Don't e-mail me to ask for her catalog, please) P.S. I have seen these at some bookstores, such as Deseret Book, and Borders can order it for you if you ask them.
