How to Make Chocolate Chip Cookie Mixes in a Jar...

Publish Post

This year my husband and I have decided to make cookie mixes in a jar to give as gifts. We were able to find inexpensive or free quart sized wide-mouth mason jars as yard sales (in about August or September) and asking some of the women at our church who don't do canning any more if we could have their jars. One of the recipes we decided to go with was a basic Chcocolate Chip Cookie Mix. You will need a tamper for each layer to achieve maximum results. Here is the Recipe:

Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
2 1/4 cup flour (cut in half)
1 Tbls Baking Soda
1 Tbls Salt
3/4 Cup brown Sugar (Cut in half)
3/4 Cup Sugar (Cut in half)
1 Cup of Chocolate Chips (Toll house) (Cut in half)

(Picture shows up to layer 7 with tamper)

Layer 1 - Scoop half of the flour in the bottom of the jar with the baking soda and salt, tamp with tamper.
Layer 2 - Pour in half of the chocolate chips, tamp with tamper.
Layer 3 - Scoop half of the brown sugar, tamp with tamper.
Layer 4 - Scoop half of the white sugar, tamp with tamper.
Layer 5 - Chocolate Chips, tamp.
Layer 6 - Brown sugar, tamp.
Layer 7 - Sugar, tamp.
Layer 8 - flour, tamp and put the lid on and secure tightly.

Then you can either write by hand or print the recipe card that will be attached. Recipe card:
