Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/2 cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Layer the dry ingredients in a 1-quart (32-ounce) mason jar or any other gift-friendly airtight container.
Start by adding the all-purpose flour as the base layer, followed by unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking powder. Use a spoon to level each layer before adding the next to create clean lines.
If using chocolate chips, add them as the topmost layer.
Seal the jar tightly, and decorate with a ribbon or gift tag.
Include the following instructions with the gift: 'To prepare brownies, preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking pan. In a mixing bowl, combine the contents of the jar with 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir until well combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with fudgy crumbs. Let cool before slicing.'
