Ingredients for the Cookie Mix

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (to be added later)
  • 1 egg (to be added later)
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (to be added later)

Instructions for Preparing the Cookies

  1. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Combine well to blend all the dry ingredients.
  2. Layer the mixture into your jar, starting with the flour blend at the bottom and finishing with the brown sugar on top. This not only looks great but also allows you to see the beautiful layers.
  3. Attach your printable tags to the jar, providing the recipient with the instructions on how to transform the mix into scrumptious cookies.
  4. When your loved one is ready to bake, they should preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  5. They will then need to empty the contents of the jar into a mixing bowl, adding the egg, vanilla extract, and softened butter. Mix until well combined.
  6. Drop spoonfuls of cookie dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

And there you have it! A wonderful gift that not only shares the joy of baking but also tastes fabulous. Happy baking!
