Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Jar
Great for making with kids - they can give this as presents.  You can too!   
When children (and even teens) are helping in the kitchen, always use safety first as your motto!
​Supervise carefully and pay attention to details.   Remember - YOU are the responsible one.
