Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
Layer the ingredients into a 1-quart mason jar as follows: Pour the flour mixture into the bottom of the jar, leveling it gently with a spoon or your hand. Next, add the rolled oats (if using), then the brown sugar, packed down firmly to create a distinct layer.
Add the granulated sugar on top of the brown sugar layer, smoothing it with a spoon.
Pour in the chocolate chips, spreading them evenly to fill the jar to the brim.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid, and attach a tag or label with the baking instructions.
Baking instructions for the recipient: 'Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, beat together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add the contents of the jar and stir until a dough forms. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool and enjoy!'
