Instructions
In a clean 1-quart mason jar, combine the ingredients in layers.

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.

Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup melted butter (cooled slightly). Mix until just combined.
