Cookie Mix in a Jar: Chocolate Cherry Cookies
Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups dried cherries
1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Other Supplies:
1 wide mouth quart size canning jar per child
Rings and flat lids
Colorful print fabric to cut in 6-inch circles
Dry measuring cups
Paper, pencils, color markers to make labels
Tape or yarn to attach labels
Directions: 1. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and soda.
2. In a wide mouth quart jar, layer ingredients in order listed. Press after each layer before adding next ingredient.
3. Prepare the label instructions

Tips for Packing Mix Jars

-Use dry measuring cups and measure accurately
-Do not assume a pasta sauce or mayonnaise jar is a quart.
-Blend the flour, baking powder, soda and salt with a wire whisk
-Pack layers tightly in the order they are listed so all the ingredients will fit and won’t get mixed up
-If you want to keep two layers separate, cut a circle of wax paper and lay between.
-If baking cocoa is in the middle, wipe down the inside of the jar with
paper towel to prevent streaking.
-Place lid on to pack tightly the last layer.
-Lay fabric ring over lid and screw on the ring portion of the lid.
Attach ingredient list and directions with tape or punch a hole and tie
it on with yarn or ribbon.

You will need to prepare a label with the following information in whatever format you wish.
