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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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:
Step 3
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 4
- Empty the jar contents into a large mixing bowl and combine well.
Step 5
- 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.
Step 6
- Scoop 1.5-tablespoon sized portions of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Step 7
- 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.
Step 8
Once baked, the cookies will have a lovely pink and white polka dot appearance!
