Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 0.75 cups Mini M&M's
Directions
Step 1
In a clean 1-quart mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order: flour, baking soda, and salt. Use a spoon to level and gently pack each layer to ensure it fits.
Step 2
Add the granulated sugar as the second layer, followed by the brown sugar as the third layer. Gently press down each layer to make it even and compact.
Step 3
Add the mini M&M's as the top layer. Screw on the lid tightly, and optionally attach a tag with the baking instructions.
Step 4
To bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 5
Empty the jar contents into a large mixing bowl. Mix well to combine.
Step 6
Add 0.5 cups (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the dry mix. Stir until a dough forms.
Step 7
Scoop spoonfuls of dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake; cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy, or package the cookies in gift bags for sharing!
