Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.75 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.33 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups packed brown sugar
- 0.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
In a clean 1-quart mason jar, combine the ingredients in layers.
Start with the all-purpose flour, then add the salt and baking powder.
Follow with the cocoa powder, pressing it down to create a flat and even layer.
Add the granulated sugar as the next layer, followed by the brown sugar. Press down gently to compact each layer.
Top the jar with semi-sweet chocolate chips and optional chopped nuts, if using.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid. Optional: Attach a decorative ribbon or label.
Attach a tag with the following baking instructions: 'Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan. Empty the contents of the jar into a large bowl. Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup melted butter (cooled slightly). Mix until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool before cutting and serving.'
