Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup Pink candy-coated chocolate pieces
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
Instructions
In a clean 1-quart glass jar, layer the dry ingredients in the following order: flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, granulated sugar, brown sugar, pink candy-coated chocolate pieces, and white chocolate chips. Gently pack each layer down as you go to ensure everything fits into the jar without mixing.
Seal the jar tightly and decorate it with a ribbon or tag. Include a handwritten or printed tag with the following baking instructions for the gift recipient:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Empty the jar contents into a large mixing bowl and combine well.
- Add 0.5 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Scoop 1.5-tablespoon sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once baked, the cookies will have a lovely pink and white polka dot appearance!
