Chocolate Chocolate Cookie Recipe

To get started making this cookie mix in a jar, you'll need...

Tools and Materials for this Cookie Mix in a Jar Gift:

• Mason Jar: wide mouth, 1 quart (or 1 liter) size - thoroughly clean and completely dry
• Lid: Canning lid and ring or other tight fitting lid with air tight seal - no dents or rust
• Funnel: Wide mouth canning funnel or 1 piece of printer paper folded into a funnel
• Measuring cup
• Measuring spoons
• Paper Towel
• Long Item with Flat Bottom - for compacting layers (tart tamper, tall spice container, slender wine glass)
• Decorative Items - fabric, ribbon, gift tag materials etc.
• Recipe Card - make one yourself or print the one provided below

Ingredients: (Recipe for One Cookie Mix in a Jar)

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
• 1 1/4 cups semisweet chocolate chips*
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar

*Variation: You can substitute white chocolate chips, butterscotch or toffee in place of bittersweet but be prepared for a slightly sweeter cookie. After careful testing (entirely for my readers, not at all for myself :-) ) I've determined that bittersweet chocolate chips seam to make the best tasting chocolate cookies.

Note: You can also put the brown sugar in followed by the chocolate chips in order to pack as many chips as possible. However, I choose to add brown sugar last since the top layer often gets covered up by fabric or decoration and the chocolate chips make a scrumptious looking layer?

Instructions:

• Stir together flour, baking soda and salt
• Using funnel pour flour mix into 1 quart mason jar
• Press down flour mixture until it won't pack any more
• Wipe insides of jar clean with folded dry paper towel
• Carefully spoon in coco powder and pack layer fully (it takes a bit of tamping to get this fluffy substance packed well)
• Wipe inside of jar with clean and dry paper towel
• Carefully pour in granulated sugar and press layer firmly
• Add chocolate chips a little at a time and press down as needed to get them as tight as possible
• Spoon in brown sugar and press layer firmly
• If there's any space left (doubtful) add a few more chocolate chips)
• Seal with lid and decorate as desired

Presentation...

For a simple presentation. For a simple but cute presentation, place a 7 inch round of fabric over the top. Secure with a rubber band. Wrap raffia or ribbon around the cloth, covering up the rubber band and then tie a bow. Use raffia to attach a wooden spoon if desired. Be sure to attach the chocolate cookie recipe for how to use the cookie mix.

Gift Basket Option: To make this into a cute homemade gift basket, add a cookie jar of some sort, a wooden spoon and matching oven mitts. The cookie jar will come in handy since these are rich cookies not to be eaten all at once.
