GIFT IN JAR COWGIRL COOKIES RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Gift in Jar Cowgirl Cookies Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Mrs_imUnLawson

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/3 cup all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooking oats
3/4 cup M&Ms
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup white sugar
1/3 to 1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Start with a 1 quart smooth Ball jar. I found these at Hobby Lobby craft store. Layer the ingredients in this order: Flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt Oats M&Ms Chocolate chips Brown sugar White sugar Chopped pecans Pack each level down really tightly. I mean it. Pack it in, or else it won't all fit. Also, I added the chopped pecans last, because if the ingredients were too much or not enough, then I could add more or less pecans to adjust. I'd rather sacrifice nuts than chocolate, you know. The ingredients should be flush to the top of the lid when you seal it up. DIRECTIONS ON TAG: Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add 1 slightly beaten egg, 1/2 cup butter melted slightly in the microwave, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Mix wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Use the back of a large spoon to work it all together. You may even need to use your hands to get everything incorporated. Then roll the cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls, place on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350°F oven. I got about 26 to 28 cookies out of these.
