Butter Ball Chiffon Cookies Gift In A Jar Recipes

GIFT IN JAR COWGIRL COOKIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Start with a 1 quart smooth Ball jar. I found these at Hobby Lobby craft store. Layer the ingredients in this order: Flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt Oats M&Ms Chocolate chips Brown sugar White sugar Chopped pecans Pack each level down really tightly. I mean it. Pack it in, or else it won't all fit. Also, I added the chopped pecans last, because if the ingredients were too much or not enough, then I could add more or less pecans to adjust. I'd rather sacrifice nuts than chocolate, you know. The ingredients should be flush to the top of the lid when you seal it up. DIRECTIONS ON TAG: Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 slightly beaten egg, 1/2 cup butter melted slightly in the microwave, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use the back of a large spoon to work it all together. You may even need to use your hands to get everything incorporated. Then roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven. I got about 26 to 28 cookies out of these.

Use pinking shears to cut an 8 or 9 inch circle from gingham, calico, or a seasonal fabric. Place the fabric over the wide mouth lid and rim and secure with a rubber band. Tie on a raffia or ribbon bow to cover the rubber band. Attach a card to the ribbon or raffia with the following mixing and baking directions:
