I could not fit all the ingredients in the jar, and the cookie dough was dry.

    I'm not sure what recipe everyone else used, but this recipe is no good. I could not fit all of the chocolate chips into the jar, which another reviewer mentioned. Then when I mixed the ingredients together, the consistancy was really sandy. It barely held together even when I packed it. I tried baking it anyway and they were crumbly and it seemed too sugary. I felt that it lacked salt. I would not recommend trying this recipe unless you want to adjust the measurements to get a good recipe. Sorry!

    I made this as a gift for several people. The jar looks great with the different layers. I used a wide mouth jar and was unable to fit a full cup of M&M's in. I could only fit a 1/2 cup and even then had to struggle to make everything fit. I put extra M&M's in baggies. I did try the cookies out and they are very tasty. Just watch out, because you may get to the top of the jar like I did and realize that everything doesn't quite fit.

    These cookies are delicious! I made up a jar for a christmas gift and decided I wanted to give them a try myself. When making the gift I used a small mouth jar which I should of used a wide mouth cause I didn't have room for the brown sugar so I put the brown sugar in a baggie and tied it to the jar lid along with the instruction card. Thanks for sharing your recipe. They'll good!
