Cookies in a jar

Step 1

Carefully layer all the dry ingredients in order of ingredient list in a 1L (4-cup) sterilised jar. Attach a label to the jar telling the recipient that they will need: 125g melted unsalted butter, 1 lightly beaten egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Step 2

To bake the cookies, preheat oven to 180°C. Combine all the jar ingredients and extra ingredients in a large bowl. Place 12 spoonfuls onto a baking paper-lined baking tray, flatten slightly, then bake for 8-10 minutes until golden.

Step 3

Remove from oven and cool slightly, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
