Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cups chopped pecans or walnuts
- 0.5 cups mini chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Layer the ingredients in a 32-ounce mason jar in the following order for a visually appealing presentation: all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, chopped pecans or walnuts, mini chocolate chips, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Tightly seal the jar with the lid, ensuring there is no space between layers for a clean presentation. Attach a tag with additional directions for baking.
For baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Empty the jar contents into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, beat 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter (softened), 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, mixing until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, chill in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes.
Form the dough into 1-inch balls and roll them in granulated sugar mixed with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for a snickerdoodle coating.
Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8–10 minutes or until the cookies are set around the edges but still soft in the center.
Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve or package as a gift in decorative wrapping!
