    Triple Chocolate Cookie Mix in a jar

    Triple Chocolate Cookie Mix in a jar this …

    Handmade food gifts are the ultimate gorgeous, no-fuss presents whatever the occasion ...

    And here's one of my favourites ... a cookie mix in a jar.  The prettiest of gifts and the easiest too.  You'll need a 1 litre Kilner jar and then layer it up with the dry ingredients one at a time.  It's a bit like those coloured sand ornaments that you see at the seaside but classier and tastier ... and less gritty. Hopefully.

    If you're giving this as a gift, you'll also need to attach the instructions for how to transform the mix into gorgeous, no-fuss cookies. Here is a download of the instructions that you'll need.

    Ideas for how to present the instructions with your cookie mix in a jar -

    • Recently I've been using labels like these. I printed a sticker on each side of the labels -Triple Chocolate Cookie Mix labels
    • You could also print out the download and attach it to the jar in an envelope.
    • And if it's a gift from a child (perhaps for a teacher) getting the child to write the instructions in their own handwriting is cute ... unless it will cause un-festive parent-child rows and tearing out of hair.

    And the Triple Chocolate Cookies that are made from the mix are simply delicious...

    You could also make a spare jar for yourself while you're in the zone and stash it away for a rainy day. Now that sounds like the ultimate in planning for future happiness ...

    • Pinch of salt
    • 125g (4 ½ oz) dark brown soft sugar
    • 125g (4 ½ oz) caster sugar

    • 70g (3oz) dark chocolate, roughly chopped
    • 70g (3oz) milk chocolate, roughly chopped
    • 70g (3oz) white chocolate, roughly chopped

    To add to the cookie mix -

    • 125g (4 ½ oz) soft butter
    • 1 egg

    You will also need -

    1 litre Kilner jar
    2 lightly greased baking sheets

    Instructions

    To make the mix in the jar -

    1. Sift the flour into a bowl. Add the salt.
    2. In another bowl, mix the dark brown sugar and the caster sugar together. Make sure it is well mixed and that you have got rid of any lumps.
    3. Carefully layer half of the flour mixture at the bottom of the jar, followed by half of the cocoa powder and then half of the sugar mixture. Repeat.
    4. Add the chopped chocolate to the top of the jar and seal. Store your jar of cookie mix in a cool place.

    To make the cookies -

    1. Preheat the oven to 180ºC/160ºC Fan/350ºF (gas mark 4).
    2. Cream the butter in a large bowl and beat in the eggs. Now tip the contents of the jar into the bowl and mix well until the ingredients are blended. You will need to use your hands towards the end.
    3. Roll the dough into walnut-sized pieces and space them evenly on 2 lightly greased baking sheets.
    4. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove the tray from the oven and let the cookies cool for a few minutes before moving them to a wire tray to cool completely. Having said that - they are especially yummy when they are warm and straight from the oven!
