Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups packed light brown sugar
- 0.75 cups dried cranberries
- 0.75 cups bittersweet chocolate chips
Instructions
In a 1-quart Mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order for a beautiful presentation: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, light brown sugar (press down to level), dried cranberries, and bittersweet chocolate chips.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and add a gift tag with instructions for baking the cookies.
To bake the cookies, the recipient should preheat their oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, they should whisk together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well combined.
Next, they should pour the dry ingredients from the jar into the wet mixture and stir well until a dough forms.
Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time and place it onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
