Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar firmly packed
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup Christmas M&Ms
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
To be added by gift recipient:
- 10 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Spoon this mixture into the bottom of a quarter size (32 ounces) mason jar. Gently tap the jar against the counter to make the top of the mixture as level and possible.
- Layer the brown sugar on top into an even layer. Be careful when adding it to make smooth lines on the edges of the jar.
- Follow the same process with the granulated sugar.
- Then top with the M&Ms and chocolate chips. Make sure to fill the jar to the very top to ensure that the ingredients are packed tightly to prevent the ingredients from shifting when gifting them.
- Place the lid on the mason jar tightly. Print off a printable label (I prefer on yardstick) and attach the label to the jar with ribbon or baker’s twine.
- Then the jar is ready to give as a gift!
Instructions for the Gift Recipient:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Beat together the butter, egg and vanilla extract until combined and light and fluffy in a large mixing bowl.
- Stir in the jar ingredients by hand until well combined (no more lumps).
- Drop by rounded Tablespoons onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for 9-11 minutes until the edges are slightly browned.
- Cook for 5 minutes, move to a wire rack to cool completely and then they are ready to enjoy!

Notes
