Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups Milk chocolate chips
Instructions
Layer the ingredients in a 1-quart (32-ounce) glass jar in the following order: flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Use a spoon to carefully level each layer for a clean, distinct look.
Add the granulated sugar as the next layer, followed by the packed brown sugar. Press down firmly with the back of a spoon to compact the layers.
Top with the semisweet chocolate chips and finish with the milk chocolate chips. Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
For gift-giving, attach a tag or card with the following instructions for baking the cookies: 'Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, beat together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the contents of this jar until a dough forms. Shape dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are set. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy!'
Store the jar in a cool, dry place until ready to use. The mix will keep for up to 3 months.
