Mix-in-a-Jar: Coco Fudge Cookies

Looking for a personal but inexpensive gift idea? Why not try giving something totally unexpected: a mix in the jar cookie mix. Here it how it goes:

Take a bowl and mix the following ingredients together:

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

Add this mixture to a one-quart, wide-mouth canning jar. Pack the flour down.

Then add in the following order

1/2 cup dark cocoa powder

1 1/2 cup sugar

1 cup chocolate chips

Place the lid on the jar and decorate the jar as you desire.

Then add a label to the jar that has the following instructions written on them:

To make the cookies.

90 ml oil

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 jar cookie mix

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celcius. In a large bowl, combine the oil, eggs, and vanilla.

Stir in the cookie mix until just combined.

Drop 12 balls of dough on an ungreased cookie sheet (use a ice cream scoop to make it easy). The balls should be about the size of walnuts.

Bake for 9 to 10 minutes on a dark pan, slightly longer on a light pan. Remove to a wire rack to cool.

Enjoy
