COOKIE MIX JAR



PLAYING ALONG AGAIN...

this time I am entering this no-name gift to the
Challenge #39 Gifts Galore:
Create a handmade gift or gift package.


  I used the From the Kitchen Cricut cart to cut the word with its features and Winter Woodland for the poinsettias.



      Peanut Butter Chocolate Chippers Mix in a Jar 
      (Copied and pasted from HERE)

      3/4 cup chopped salted peanuts
      3/4 cup packed brown sugar
      3/4 cup granulated sugar
      3/4 cup semi/sweet chocolate chips
      1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
      1 teaspoon baking soda
      1/4 teaspoon salt

      Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a separate bowl.

      Layer the ingredients in a one-quart wide-mouth jar in the order given; pressing each layer firmly in place before adding the next ingredient

      Attach the following gift tag to the jar:
      Peanut Butter Chocolate Chippers:

      Empty cookie mix into a large mixing bowl and stir to combine. Add 1/2 cup softened butter or margarine, 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter, 1 beaten egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until completely blended. Shape dough into balls and place 2 inches apart on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 13 minutes or until edges are slightly brown. Cool 5 minutes on cookie sheet and remove to wire rack to cool completely.

      Makes 3 dozen cookies.

      ENJOY!

        Oh and I was cleaning out my e-mails and noticed I had a "draft" e-mail for you that I never sent, lol, It was about the pumpkin lady having a fit, do you still want me to send it, lol, sorry I thought I had, hee hee. I guess I got a bit stretched out there for a bit. Hopefully it will slow down a bit......NOT, lol! Take it easy!

      15. What a great gift idea! I love the look of 'jared' gifts! I love seeing all the pretty layers inside! Not to mention how lovely the outside of the jar is decorated! I love the 'tools' hanging off the side, and the raffia is a beautiful touch! Just perfect!
