As part of the Vegas Bachelorette Survival Packs, I included some homemade cookie mix for the girls to take home with them: Vegas Cowgirl Cookies!
I was inspired by Bakerella's Cowgirl Cookie Mix Jars, which fit because everyone on the trip was from Texas! But of course I had to put a casino spin on them. "Vegas Cowgirl" reminds me of Vegas Vicky, one of the "Glitter Gulch" signs in Vegas:
The recipe I used comes straight from Bakerella:
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup & leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooking oats
3/4 cup m&ms (I used my "casino mix": bags of red, white, and black from Michaels)
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 – 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Start with smooth quart Ball jars, especially made for crafts. I found them in the "vase and jar art" section at Michaels: look for signs with sand art. Read Bakerella's post on how to layer the dry ingredients. To get the ingredients into the jars without spreading flour all over my kitchen, I made a makeshift funnel out of printer paper and tape.
To decorate the top of the jars, cut out squares of gingham fabric and add a strip of feather boa for a little Vegas flair. Here are my jars pre-flair:
I put the leftover m&ms in a tin, and made that part of the gift as well:
I hope the cookies turn out well!

A very short clip of Kristy Lee Cook performing "Cowgirl" at the American Idol tour in Las Vegas on July 5, 2008.
*Note* My video quality isn't the best because a) I was busy watching the concert and b) my camera can only do so much from where we sat and I couldn't even get the screens that well most of the time. Oh well! I'm still happy about it. :)
