Description

Create a beautiful and scientifically balanced DIY cookie mix in a jar that makes the perfect edible gift. This recipe features perfectly layered ingredients that produce tender, professional-quality mini cookies with a rich caramel flavor and colorful chocolate inclusions.


Ingredients

  • 175g Light Brown Soft Sugar
  • 275g Plain Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 tbsp Cornflour
  • 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
  • 150g Chocolate Chips
  • 150g M&Ms


Instructions

  1. Press the light brown soft sugar into the bottom of a 750ml jar using a flat tool to compress it firmly.
  2. Whisk the plain flour, baking powder, cornflour, and sea salt together in a separate bowl, then gently spoon the mixture over the sugar layer.
  3. Add a layer of chocolate chips followed by a final layer of M&Ms to fill the jar.
  4. Seal with an airtight lid and attach a label instructing the recipient to cream 125g butter with 1 egg, mix in the jar contents, and bake at 180ºC for 11-13 minutes.

Notes

To ensure the best visual appeal, use a funnel when adding the flour layer to keep the sides of the jar clean. If gifting in a humid environment, consider adding a small food-grade silica packet to the very top to maintain the dryness of the ingredients until they are ready to be baked.
