MINI COOKIES IN A JAR

Something super cute - "mini" cookies in a jar!  These would make the sweetest wedding favours.  A swing tag was just a bit too large to hang off the side of the wee jelly jar, so I wrote the instructions in these paper scrolls and tied them to the jar.

Layer the following into a quilted jelly jar (or a regular jam jar) - it needs to be packed down quite firmly:
1/2 a cup of flour, 1/2 a teaspoon of baking powder, 1/8 cup of white sugar (all mixed together)
1/8th of a cup of brown sugar
1/2 a cup of chocolate chips

Cover lid with pretty fabric or paper if desired, bind with twine and tie on a tag or scroll with the following directions:

Preheat oven to 190 degrees celcius.
Empty contents of jar into bowl.
Melt 50grams of butter, beat one egg, and add to dry mix.
Drop tablespoons of mixture onto oven tray.
Bake for 6-7 minutes.


They are deliciously chewy and buttery, mmmmmm

Enjoy!

COOKIES IN A JAR

Here's a sweet little take on our Brownie in a Jar - It's a wee "Cookie in a Jar"! Made in our smaller Pint Mason jars, they are super cute - perfect for gifts and wedding favours. 

Layer the following into a Pint size jar:
1 cup flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 cup white sugar (mixed together)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 cup chocolate chips
Cover lid with pretty fabric or paper, bind with twine and tie on a tag with the following directions:
Preheat oven to 190 degrees celcius.
Empty contents of jar into a bowl.
Melt 100grams butter, beat one egg, and add to dry mix.
Drop tablespoons of mixture onto oven tray.
Bake for 6-7 minutes.
Makes approximately 12, delicious, crunchy and chewy cookies!!!
(Mine turned out more chocolatey, as the melted butter melted my chocolate chips!)
Enjoy. x

Brownie in a Jar

This idea was such a hit at the end of last year that it almost made the charts.  Facebook went into overdrive and little old 'Brownie in a Jar' went viral, finding its way into all sorts of Christmas stockings, parties, wedding tables and teachers end of year gift piles.  Amid the frenzy I forgot to even blog about it!  So, here's the Brownie in a Jar recipe (Ball Quart Mason jars available from our store)....

I first saw this idea about seven years ago when I purchased one from a school fundraiser.  Unfortunately the brownie wasn't that nice, as it had a whole heap of oil in it, so I searched around for a good, simple recipe and adapted it slightly to make a 'jar full' of mixture.

ENJOY :-)
