We get together with friends every Christmas and usually there are homemade gifts for everyone. This year, I made jars of cookie mix. I filled glass jars and topped them with candycane striped fabric, tied with a ribbon. These make great teacher gifts, hostess gifts or something to take to your boss! And when you are done here, stop over to see Jen at her Homemade Gift Ideas party with a beautiful giveaway!
Super-Chunky Christmas Cookies
Using a 1-1/2 liter glass jar, layer as follows:
1-1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup Dutch process cocoa
3/4 cup red M&M's
1 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup chopped cashews
1 cup semisweet chocolate chunks
1 cup toasted coconut
Here are the directions for the gift tag:
Beat 1 1/4 cups sugar and 1 stick butter with a mixer until fluffy. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add the Super-Chunky Christmas Cookie mix and stir with a wooden spoon until combined. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls onto a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees until set, about 12 minutes. Cool on a rack.
