Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing a clean, dry 1-quart jar.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 3
Pour the flour mixture into the bottom of the jar, using a spoon to even out the layer.
Step 4
Next, add the granulated sugar as the second layer, followed by the brown sugar as the third layer. Be sure to pack down each layer firmly for a neater appearance.
Step 5
Add the crushed potato chips as the fourth layer, followed by the mini chocolate chips.
Step 6
If using, add the chopped pecans or walnuts as the final layer. Seal the jar tightly with a lid.
Step 7
Attach a gift tag with the following instructions: 'To make Potato Chip Cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Gradually mix in the contents of the jar until fully combined. Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!'
Step 8
Decorate the jar with a ribbon or fabric cover for an extra festive touch before gifting.
