Christmas Cookies in Jar

GirlfriendocokieslabelNFF


Dry Ingredients to pack in pint mason jar:
3/4 cup and 1 tablespoon and 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup Christmas M&Ms
1/4 cup packed brown sugar


Directions: Combine the flour and baking soda. Place flour and soda mixture in a clean pint sized glass jar, and pack firmly. *See NFF Tip below!  Place sugar on top.  Pack firmly.  Layer with chocolate chips and M&Ms.  Place the brown sugar on top, again packing firmly. Cover with a lid.
Attach an index card with the following directions: Empty contents of jar into a large bowl. In separate bowl combine 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of butter, 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Beat until creamy. Add to dry mixture.  Drop by tablespoonful onto an ungreased cookie sheet, and bake in a preheated 375 degrees  for 6 to 10 minutes.

The best way I have found to keep the flour from getting all over your clean mason jar is to simply cut a large tip into a disposable decorating bag (a large plastic Ziploc would work as well), place the cut bag into your mason jar and use it as a funnel for your dry ingredients.  This keeps the sides of your jar crystal clean and will give you the clear layered look you want.
