Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Brown sugar (packed)
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 1 jar Mason jar (32 oz)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2
Carefully layer the ingredients into a clean, dry 32 oz Mason jar in the following order: all-purpose flour mixture, rolled oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and chocolate chips. Pack each layer firmly but gently to ensure the layers remain distinct and don’t mix together.
Step 3
Seal the jar tightly with its lid. For gifting, decorate the jar with ribbons, tags, or fabric covers for a festive touch.
Step 4
Attach a printed or handwritten label to the jar with the following baking instructions: 'To make these cookies: Combine contents of the jar with 1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches between cookies. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Cool on a wire rack and enjoy!'
