Christmas Project: Cookie Mix in a Jar

Ingredients:
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup & leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cooking oats
1/2 cup m&ms  (I used the red and green ones I got from www.amazon.com)
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1-quart jar, with lid

Instructions:

Layer the ingredients in the jar in this order:
1.  flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
2.  oats
3.  m&ms and chocolate chips
4.  brown sugar
5.  white sugar
6.  chopped pecans

Pack each level down really tightly or else it won’t all fit -- trust me on this one!  The ingredients should be flush to the top of the lid when you seal it up.

Include these instructions with your gift:  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Stir dry ingredients in a large bowl and add:  1/2 cup (almost melted) butter, 1 slightly beaten egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract,.  Combine thoroughly.  Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls & bake for 10 minutes. 

You're welcome to use the labels I made for packaging.  They are sized to fit Avery® 22807 Easy Peel® Print-to-the-Edge in White Round Labels, Glossy, 2" Diameter.
