    Recipe Introduction


    BEFORE YOU START
    Just a few hints for success when making gift jars:
    Always sterilize your jars first and make sure they are completely dry. Use wide-mouth quart jars.

    Canning jars work fine but if you care to be a little fancier, quart
    sized decorative jars can be used.

    The first ingredient in the recipe always goes in first, followed by
    the rest of the ingredients in order. Make sure each layer is packed
    down before adding the next one. Sometimes static electricity will
    make cocoa dust stick to the insides of the jar. If this happens, wipe
    the sides with a paper towel before adding the next ingredient.

    If there should be space left at the top of the jar before putting the
    lid on, fill the space with extra nuts or chocolate chips or enough
    plastic wrap to keep the ingredients in place when the lid is sealed.

    After filling the jar and putting the top on, use pinking shears to
    cut a circle of pretty cloth 2 1/2" larger in diameter then the lid.
    Hold the cloth in place with a rubber band then tie a ribbon around
    the rubber band and attach the recipe.

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 cup sugar
    1/2 cup chopped nuts
    1 cup chocolate chips
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    2 1/4 cups flour
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/4 teaspoon salt

    Recipe



    Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a separate bowl.

    Layer the ingredients in the jar in the order given;
    The first ingredient goes in first, then the second, third and so on.
    Press each layer firmly in place before adding the next ingredient.

    RECIPE TO ATTACH TO JAR:
    Empty cookie mix into large mixing bowl and stir to combine.
    Add 3/4 cup softened butter, 1 beaten egg and 1 tsp. vanilla;
    mix until completely blended. Shape heaping teaspoonfuls into
    balls and place 2" apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
    Bake at 350* fpr 13-15 minutes and cool 10 minutes on baking sheet.
    Remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes 3 dozen.
