A layered cookie mix of sugar, M&M's, flour and leaveners in a quart jar, topped with a tag for the butter, egg and vanilla. Makes 24 cookies and works well as a gift.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • 1 cup M&M's plain chocolate candies
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder

Directions

  • Add the sugar, M&M's, flour, baking soda, and baking powder in layers to a quart-size jar, or close them up in a vacuum bag.
  • Tie on a tag that lists the butter, egg, and vanilla, along with the baking directions.

Notes

To bake: 1 jar mix, 3/4 cup softened butter, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla. Empty the mix into a large bowl; add butter, egg, and vanilla; mix until a dough forms. Drop by big spoonfuls onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350 F for 12 to 14 minutes. Cool briefly on the sheet, then on a rack. Optional: an extra egg for a softer, richer cookie.
Storage: dry mix sealed in a cool, dry place up to 8 months; dough refrigerated, bake within 2 days; cookies airtight up to 2 weeks.
