Attach a card with the following directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line one baking sheet with parchment paper
Empty the contents of the jar into a large bowl and mix until all the ingredients are well combined.
Using your hands work in 3/4 cup softened butter or margarine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Work this into the flour mixture until well combined. Dough will be a little crumbly.
