Mason jars with layered baking ingredients on a kitchen counter, surrounded by measuring cups and bowls. A person’s arm is visible.

Once all of the ingredients are layered into the jar, top it with the lid. If gifting you can add a rustic piece of string, or with a square of fabric and ribbon. Perhaps add a little bling. Ensure you include a tag on how to bake the cookies.

Baking the Cookies:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hand adds vanilla to butter and egg in white bowl on speckled countertop. Text reads "1/2 teaspoon Vanilla."

Place the softened butter, egg, and vanilla in a mixing bowl.
Open your cookie mix in a jar and disturb the brown sugar on the top layer. Angle your jar and carefully pour the sugars into your bowl by twisting the jar as you pour.

Mixing ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon on a speckled countertop. Nearby jar lid, warm colors create a cozy kitchen vibe.

Cream together the sugars and wet ingredients (egg, soft butter, and vanilla).
Continue to pour the dry ingredients into your bowl stopping before the nuts and chocolate chips are poured in.
Mix well.
Finish pouring the jar contents into your bowl.
Mix well.
Using your hands or a cookie spoon, place cookie balls onto your baking sheet.
Bake for 7 to 8 minutes. Until the cookies are just barely shiny still on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 2 minutes before removing them onto a cooling rack.

Note: If you overcook (let’s face it, we all do it), skip cooling the cookies on the pan and remove them from the pan to the cooling rack immediately.
