~ Chocolate Chip Cookies In-A-Jar ~

Hope all of you had a Happy Thanksgiving and didn't do too much shopping. As promised this week I am going to feature "Gifts-In-A-Jar". Today, we still start with the most popular ... Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Ingredients: 1 teaspoon salt ~ 1 teaspoon baking soda ~ 2 cups all-purpose flour ~ 1 cup brown sugar ~ 1/2 cup granulated sugar ~ 1-1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions: Mix the salt and baking soda in with the flour, then layer the ingredients in a quart-size jar in the order listed above, with the chocolate chips being on top.
~~~~~Enclose a card with the following information along with mixing and baking directions. Chocolate Chip Cookies In-A-Jar should be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 3 months. Mix the contents of this jar with: 1 c. unsalted butter or margarine, 1 large egg and 1 tsp. vanilla. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Sift dry ingredients through a colander to separate the chocolate chips from the other ingredients. Beat butter in a medium bowl until creamy. Beat sifted ingredients into butter until blended. In a small bowl, beat the egg with the vanilla. Mix beaten egg mixture into butter mixture until blended. Stir in the chocolate chips. Drop teaspoon size balls of batter, spaced well apart, onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes 4 dozen. Tomorrow, Brownies-In-A-Jar. ~ Chef ~
