Mason Jar Cookie Mix

I've been thinking of giving a more personal gift to people this year for Christmas, so today I tested out this mason jar cookie mix. 
So easy I think my kids could do it! 

Ingredients:
 
378gr of Flour
3/4 of a teaspoon of Baking Soda
114gr of White Suger 
114gr of Brown Suger
400gr of Chocolate Chips
2 Eggs
1 teaspoon of Vanilla Suger
175gr of soft Butter


Method:

Take the flour, white suger, baking soda & chocolate chips and place them all in a large mixing bowl. 
Combine them until well mixed together, then place half of the dry mixture into a mason jar and press it down until it's tightly packed. 
Now take your brown suger and pour it into the mason jar and again press it down until it's tightly packed. 
Lastly empty the remaining dry mix into the jar and press down until you have tightly packed layers in the jar. Seal the jar & put to one side. 

(If you plan on giving this as a gift to someone then you can decorate the jar & write the next few steps on a card which you'd then attach to the jar)

Take the softened butter, vanilla suger & eggs and beat them into a creamy mixture. 
Empty the contents of the mason jar into a large bowl & add the creamy mixture. 
Mix well together until everything is combined and a little sticky. 
Preheat the oven to 190*c
Place baking paper onto trays and using a tablespoon drop the mixture onto the trays. 
Bake in the oven for 8-10mins until a light golden brown. 
Remove from over and let them cool for 15-20mins. 
Pour some cold milk into glasses and get stuck in! 


Warning: These cookies can be very addictive.

  1. If i wanted to add walnuts to the recipe, how many grams would be appropriate?

  2. I haven't tested myself, but I would suggest around 300gr of chopped walnuts would be a good amount for these cookies. Let me know how they taste after you make them please.

  3. The texture got a bit harsh, even though i only put 200 grams. But it still was delicious!
