In relation to Cookie Combine in a Jar, I’ve one very particular requirement – it must be straightforward for the recipient to make the cookies. No stand mixers, no electrical beaters to cream butter.

Nope, simply add melted butter and an egg, combine, refrigerate then make your life straightforward by utilizing an ice cream scoop to dollop the dough onto baking trays (why get your palms soiled rolling balls?? 😉 ).

I wish to make mine huge. As in – 8cm/3″ rounds. This makes 12 massive cookies. Or in case you are so inclined, you can also make 18 smart sized ones. 🙂

I don’t have fancy schmancy graphic design expertise so I’ve finished up a fundamental tag for the directions to connect to the jar. I don’t actually have a color printer, so I designed it for the aim of pasting inside small Christmas playing cards, like proven within the photograph collage above. Or you would simply reduce, fold after which glue collectively so you will have a double sided tag to connect to the jar. Click on right here to obtain a PDF of the directions.

Oh! I nearly forgot – the jars! I bought these jars from Kmart in Australia. It comes with the bow and crimson elastic band which is skinny so it makes it straightforward to string into even a small gap on the cardboard or tag. These jars had been A$3 every. They’re a tiny bit too massive for the combo however not a lot that it’s going to jostle round.  I simply had a fast peek on the US Kmart web site and there are fairly just a few low-cost mason jar choices for lower than US$1 per jar (jealous!). 🙂

Whether or not as presents for co-workers, lecturers, buddies or household, I actually assume {that a} do-it-yourself reward is one that can make you stand out from the gang. Oh – if it’s on your boss, add some additional chocolate chips hmm?? 😉 – Johnsat xx

Ingredients

  • 1 litre / 4 cups / 1 quart / 32 oz mason jar
  • 1/3 cup / 70g white sugar (granulated, super fine or caster)
  • 1/3 cup / 70g brown sugar (normal or light)
  • 3/4 cup / 113g plain flour (all purpose flour)
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup / 90g quick cooking oats
  • 1 cup / 120g dried cranberries
  • 1 cup/ 180g white chocolate chips
  • 1 stick / 4 oz / 125g unsalted butter , melted
  • 1 large egg (around 60g / 2oz)

Instructions

  1. Layer Cookie Mix ingredients in the jar in the order listed. I don’t have anything to tamper with so I just shake / spread out with spoon (see video below recipe).
  2. Seal and attach baking instructions – print here.
  3. If your tray is prone to sticking, lightly grease with butter or line with baking / parchment paper (I do not bother). You will need 2 trays.
  4. Add Cookie Mix, butter and egg in a bowl. Mix with wooden spoon. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  5. Preheat oven to 375F/190C (standard) or 340F / 170C (fan / convection).
  6. Scoop dough with ice cream scoop, level and press in with fingers, then drop onto tray 5cm / 2″ apart (makes 12 large cookies, 8cm/3” rounds). Or measure heaped tablespoon and roll into balls (makes 18 small cookies 5cm/2”).
  7. Optional: If you remember, pick out some choc bits and cranberries and use to stud the top of the balls. For aesthetic reasons only. 🙂
  8. Bake 8-10 minutes (small), 12-14 minutes (large) until light golden, swapping the trays at halftime. Rest 2 minutes then transfer to cooling rack.

Notes

1. Feel free to swap out the cranberries and/or chocolate with other add ins of choice – e.g. nuts, raisins
2. This is actually a pretty forgiving recipe so it is not as affected by the difference in measuring cups between the US and (most of) the rest of the world. So rest assured this will work no matter where you are in this world and what cup size you are using. EXCEPT Japan! If you are in Japan, please use the weights provided.
3. Best to take these out when they are golden on the edges but still light golden on the surface. That way they are nice and soft rather than crispy.
4. Slightly adapted from this recipe by Thrifty Jinx.
5. Nutrition per cookie, assuming you make 12 big ones.
