Method

  • step 1

    Layer your ingredients in the jar as follows: First, put in the wholemeal flour mixed with baking powder. Then, the dried cranberries followed by the rolled oats with cinnamon. Your fourth layer is the soft brown sugar seasoned with flaky sea salt and finally, the white chocolate chunks and Horlicks. If giving the jar as a present, simply download our gift tag with the recipe method and print it off, stick it on the jar and tie a ribbon around the top.

  • step 2

    If you want to make the biscuits yourself, or would rather handwrite the label, the method is as follows: Butter two baking sheets and pre-heat the oven (180C/160C fan/gas 4). Whisk an egg, the soft butter and vanilla extract in a bowl using an electric whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy, so about 5 mins.

  • step 3

    Add the contents of the jar and mix together gently to form a dough. Put 12 golf-ball-sized spoonfuls of the dough onto each baking sheet, then bake for 11 mins. Remove the cookies from the oven and leave to cool a bit on the baking sheets. Eat them while they’re still warm.

question

how long do the ingredients last in the jar? (shelf life)

Hi, the fresher the better. We'd suggest using it within about 2-3 weeks, but as long as it's stored in a cool, dry place it should be fine for about a month (just make sure it's within the shelf life of the ingredients you've used). Any longer and it could start to taste a bit stale. We hope this…

These are so good I've made them twice in about 2 months also done them for my daughters teachers for Christmasgift. I'd recommend doing each ball at 40g

These were very tasty but after a few days in the jar the soft brown sugar solidifies, I think the oats and the flour absorbed the moisture in it, might be better to use golden caster sugar instead

I replaced cranberries for raisins soaked in rum, and dipped them in dark chocolate once cooled. Also used plain flour as I didn’t have whole meal. Also, I didn’t see need for horlicks. They are delicious!!

question

Should I use plain wholemeal flour or self raising. Recipe does not specify

Hi, it's plain wholemeal flour. If not specified in our recipes then it means plain flour; self-raising will always be specified. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
