Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup White sugar
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts (optional)
Instructions
In a clean, dry 1-quart jar, layer the ingredients neatly in the following order: flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, brown sugar, white sugar, rolled oats, chocolate chips, and walnuts (if using). Press down each layer firmly before adding the next to ensure everything fits snugly in the jar.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and attach a gift tag with the following baking instructions: 'Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat until creamy. Add the entire contents of the jar to the wet mixture and stir until well combined. Drop rounded spoonfuls of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spaced 2 inches apart.'
'Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.'
This jar of layered ingredients can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
