Oatmeal Cranberry Cookie Mix

HokiesMom's Note:

I received a package of this as a gift and loved it so much I asked for the mix recipe too. Unusual use of ingredients but turns out a nice cookie. Mix makes about 4 cups of mix. Prepared you receive approximately 2 - 2 1/2 cookies total.

Such a pretty gift jar! I haven't prepared the cookies yet, I needed a shower gift and took these. Everyone thought they were so cute,and begged for the recipe. Will report back when I have a chance to make it again and acutally bake them. I'm putting this jewel in my holiday idea cookbook. Made for newest tag. Addition Dec. 8, 2012... these cookies are so very good, I added a handful of white chocolate chips ..yummmmmmmm.
