- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar, firmly packed

- 0.75 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup All-purpose flour (extra for layering)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of flour, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground ginger, baking soda, and salt.
Layer the dry ingredients into a quart-sized jar in the following order: the flour and spice mixture, brown sugar, granulated sugar, rolled oats, raisins, and the remaining 1/4 cup of flour.
Press each layer down firmly with a spoon to make the layers compact and prevent mixing.
Seal the jar tightly with a lid and attach a note card with the following baking instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Empty the jar contents into a large mixing bowl and stir well.
- Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter, softened, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until combined.
- Drop tablespoons of cookie dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
