Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup of packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
Instructions
Layer the Dry Ingredients in a Jar:
- Start by layering the dry ingredients in a jar (for gifting or later use). First, add the flour. Then, sprinkle the baking soda and salt evenly. Add the brown sugar, making sure it’s packed tightly. Follow with the granulated sugar and finally the chocolate chips.
Seal the Jar:
- Seal the jar tightly with a lid. The jar is now ready to be gifted or stored. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a separate bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Beat in 1 egg. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the contents of the jar into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix everything together until it forms a dough.
Shape the Dough:
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
