Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup holiday sprinkles or colored sugar
Instructions
In a clean and dry quart-sized mason jar or an airtight container, begin layering the ingredients.
Add the all-purpose flour first, ensuring it is even and level. Tap the jar gently on a flat surface to level the layer.
Next, add the baking soda and salt evenly over the flour, followed by the brown sugar. Pack the brown sugar down firmly to ensure a flat layer.
Add the granulated sugar next, creating a distinct layer over the brown sugar.
Finally, layer the chocolate chips and holiday sprinkles on top. These should be the most colorful and visible layer in the jar.
Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid. Attach a festive tag or label with instructions for baking the cookies.
Baking Instructions: Empty contents of the jar into a large mixing bowl. Add 3/4 cup softened unsalted butter, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms. Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool before serving.
