I never actually make these in a jar as gifts, I cook them and give them away, people love them, they are great at potlucks/fund raisers/family get-togethers :)I found this recipe on
Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup shortening (you can use butter or margarine but shortening makes the best cookies)
Directions:
1. Mix the salt and baking soda in with the flour, then layer the ingredients into the jar.
2. Attach a gift card with the following instructions:.
3. Chocolate Chip Cookies.
4. Sift dry ingredients through a colander to separate the chocolate chips from other ingredients.
5. Beat 1 cup of unsalted butter or margarine or shortening in a medium bowl. Beat sifted ingredients into butter until blended.
6. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
7. Mix beaten egg mixture into butter mixture until blended.
8. Stir in chocolate chips.
9. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter, spaced well apart, onto a greased cookie sheet.
10. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
11. I normally make 20-22 large cookies instead of smaller ones and bake them at 350 degrees F. I have made these vegan by using 1 ener-g egg replacer, prepared instead of the egg with good results.
