Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, firmly packed
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Walnuts (optional, chopped)
Instructions
In a clean, dry quart-sized mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order for a visually appealing presentation: all-purpose flour mixed with baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon as the first layer, followed by brown sugar, granulated sugar, rolled oats, chocolate chips, and finally walnuts (if using). Press each layer down gently but firmly to pack it tightly.
Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid. Attach a tag or label with the following baking instructions.
Baking instructions: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add the entire contents of the jar and stir until well combined.
Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are a light golden brown. Cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your delicious homemade oatmeal chip cookies or gift the mix to someone special!
