Oatmeal Cranberry Cookie Mix

Modified from Country Woman

1/2 cup flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup old fashioned oats

1 cup chopped walnuts (or use more dried fruit, which is what I did as I don't like nuts, but since these will be gifts, I'll porbably do some each way)

1/2 cup shredded wheat, crushed

1/2 cup dried cranberries (or cherries...I tried this both ways....both were good...I like cherries better, so I liked that better, but cranberries are very seasonal)

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. In one quart jar, layer flour mixture, sugar, brown sugar, oats, walnuts, cereal and cranberries. Attach cooking instructions.

Cooking Directions:

1 jar oatmeal cranberry cookie mix

1/2 cup butter, softened
