Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1 | cup brown sugar |
| 1/2 | cup white sugar |
| 1 1/2 | cups all-purpose flour |
| 2 | tsp salt |
| 1 | tsp baking soda |
| 1 | cup chocolate chips |
Instructions:
- Prepare the Jar Mix:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the salt and baking soda with the all-purpose flour, ensuring even distribution.
- Begin layering the ingredients into the jar in the following order: brown sugar, white sugar, flour mixture, and finally, the chocolate chips.
- Decorate the Jar:
- Select your preferred holiday fabric (or festive paper) and cut a 9-inch diameter circle using scissors.
- Carefully place the fabric over the lid of the jar and secure it in place with a rubber band.
- Enhance the presentation by tying a ribbon bow around the lid to cover the rubber band.
- Include Baking Instructions:
- Enclose a card with detailed mixing and baking directions for the recipient to follow when preparing the cookies.
- Baking Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C).
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- Prior to mixing, sift the dry ingredients through a colander to separate the chocolate chips from the rest of the ingredients.
- In a separate medium-sized bowl, beat 1 cup of unsalted butter or margarine until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually beat the sifted dry ingredients into the butter until well blended.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and 1 tsp of vanilla extract until combined.
- Incorporate the beaten egg mixture into the butter and dry ingredient mixture, stirring until a uniform dough forms.
- Finally, gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Using a teaspoon, drop small portions of the dough onto a greased cookie sheet, ensuring they are spaced well apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 8 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Once baked to perfection, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy:
- Once cooled, these delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them with a glass of milk for a classic treat or package them up as thoughtful gifts for friends and family to savor.
With its simple yet thoughtful presentation and mouthwatering taste, this Chocolate Chip Cookie Gift Mix is sure to delight anyone lucky enough to receive it. Perfect for sharing the joy of homemade baked goods during the holiday season or any time of year! πͺβ¨
