Cranberry Hootycreek cookies make amazing gifts, the idea is to layer all of the dry ingredients into a mason jar and tie the recipe to the top. My sister discovered these a few holidays ago and since then they are one of her go-to cookie recipes. I was a little hesitant to make a batch since I am not a huge fan of white chocolate but was pleasantly surprised. I love the tartness from the cranberries mixed with the sweet chips and buttery base. YUM!
