In a clean, 1-quart mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, packed brown sugar, granulated sugar, chopped pecans, and semi-sweet chocolate chips.
After adding each ingredient, gently shake or tap the jar to level the layer before adding the next one.
Seal the jar with an airtight lid. Attach a handwritten or printed instruction tag for the recipient.
Include the following instructions on the tag: 'To bake the cookies, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, beat together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth. Add the contents of the jar and mix until a dough forms.'
Continue with: 'Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.'
Store the jar in a cool, dry place until gifting or baking.
