Print Recipe

A simple and thoughtful homemade gift idea featuring layered dry ingredients for cookies in mason jars, perfect for teacher presents and easy to assemble.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup packed (165g) brown sugar
  • 1 ½ cups (270g) mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (90g) oats (optional)
  • ½ cup (60g) chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar or vanilla powder

Instructions

  1. Pre-mix your dry ingredients: sift together 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a large bowl.
  2. Stir in ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar, ¾ cup packed (165g) brown sugar, and 1 cup (90g) oats if using.
  3. Using a funnel or spoon, gently layer the dry mix into a 16 oz (500 ml) mason jar, pressing lightly but not packing tightly.
  4. Layer 1 ½ cups (270g) mini chocolate chips on top, followed by ½ cup (60g) chopped nuts.
  5. Seal the jar tightly and add a decorative tag with baking instructions: add 1 cup (226g) softened unsalted butter, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract when baking.
  6. Store jars in a cool, dry place for up to three months until gifting.

Notes

Use softened (not melted) butter when baking for best chewy texture. Chill dough for 30 minutes if possible. Do not overmix dough after adding wet ingredients. Cookies should be pulled out at 10-12 minutes when edges are golden but centers slightly underbaked. Mix stays fresh up to three months in sealed jars. Customize with gluten-free flour, oats, or vegan ingredients as needed.
