- 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
Layer the dry ingredients in a 1-quart jar in the following order: all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Tap the jar gently on the counter to level the layers.
Add the brown sugar as the next layer, packing it down tightly to ensure a clean separation between layers. Follow with the granulated sugar.
Next, layer the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chunks, and optionally, the chopped walnuts or pecans, to create a visually appealing presentation.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and decorate with a ribbon or tag.
Include baking instructions for the gift recipient: 'Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Empty the jar contents into a large mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.'
