Everything you need to know to make the cutest and tasty homemade gift. Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix in a Jar.

By: Mariah Nienhuis

Serving Size: 1 Quart Jar Mix

1 quart jar wide mouth jar works best
1 metal lid ring
A funnel not necessary but it is helpful
A 6” x 6” fabric square Perfect opportunity to use a piece of scrap fabric - I just use scissors to cut out the square.
Plastic Wrap
2 Sandwich Bags – Fold top Most cookie mixes in a jar don't put the sugar and chocolate chips in a separate bag but I like too so that you can beat the butter and sugars together separately. This make for a all around better cookie.
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 white sugar, granulated
3/4 cup chocolate chips You can really use any type of chocolate chip you would like too. We like semi-sweet the best!
Cute recipe card printable
Free printable tag

First you take your jar and funnel and measure out and combine flour, baking soda and salt. Place flour mixture in the bottom of the jar. This is your first layer.
Now at this point a lot of people will just add the sugars in and the chocolate chips….I like being able to whip the butter and sugar together as I feel this gives the cookies a better texture. So this is where the fold top sandwich bags come in. Measure out your sugar and place it in one bag. Go ahead and slightly pack this down on the flour. Then in the next bag put the chocolate chips. You can then set this bag on top of the sugar bag.
Once you have reached this point you can either hand write out the directions or print off the FREE printable that I have made up. Put this in the top of the jar.
There are different ways you could close up/seal the jar. My favorite is to take plastic wrap and lay it on top of the jar, then the square of cute fabric and then screw on a metal jar ring. You could also add a ribbon bow or a twine bow to attach a gift tag too. I made a couple printable gift tags and they make a great personal touch. I would recommend printing them on cardstock paper (a thicker paper) to make them look even better!

This mix can be stored in a dark place for up to 3 months.
