List of Ingredients
Jar ingredients:
1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
20 pieces orange slice candy, quartered (1-1/2 cups, packed)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Additional ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Place all of the jar ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and stir until well combined. Set aside.
Place the butter, eggs and vanilla extract in a large bowl and cream with an electric mixer set on low speed or with a fork.
Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix with a spoon until well combined.
Drop the dough by heaping teaspoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing the cookies about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
Bake for 9 to 12 minutes, or until light brown in color. Allow to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet. Then transfer to wire racks and cool completely.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Yields 2-1/2 dozen cookies.
To create a Mason jar cookie mix: When instructed, layer the ingredients in the following bottom-to-top order— 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1/2 teaspoon baking soda; 3/4 cup sugar; 1/2 cup brown sugar; 20 pieces orange slice candy, quartered. Wash and thoroughly dry a 1-quart wide-mouth canning jar. Layer the ingredients in the jar as shown at left, pressing firmly with a flat-bottomed object, such as a tart tamper or the bottom of a narrow glass, after each addition. Make the layers as level as possible.
Secure the lid and add rubber band or string and small piece of fabric. Attach a copy of the cookie recipe to the jar if you are giving it as a gift.
