Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
Carefully layer the ingredients in a 1-quart (32 oz) mason jar in this order: flour mixture (use a spoon to level it), brown sugar (press it down gently to create a firm layer), granulated sugar, rolled oats, and chocolate chips.
Step 3
Ensure each layer is even and compact to create a visually appealing effect in the jar.
Step 4
Seal the jar with a lid and decorate it with ribbon or a gift tag.
Step 5
Include a note with the jar that includes the following instructions for the recipient: 'Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) of melted butter, 1 egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Add the contents of the jar and mix until fully combined. Drop by spoonfuls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden. Let cool on a wire rack before serving.'
