A student gave me this in a jar 5 years ago, and I finally made it. Even after sitting 5 years, and at 8500 feet altitude, they were fantastic. keep giving this to teachers! (But simplify the direxns.. no real need to sift, fluff, etc. Just mix it together and go.) five stars

I am selling these for a fundraiser to Australia and so for I've sold 15 of them! I think I may do this is years to come. They were not that hard to make and everything fit perfectly. I even modified the recipe to make M&M, Reese's,peppermint chunk, and peanut butter chip cookies!!! YUUMMM!!!!!! four stars
