Christmas Cookies
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup & 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 – 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Add
1 slightly beaten egg
1/2 cup butter (melted slightly in the microwave)
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 degree oven. I got about 26-28 cookies out of these.
Layer the ingredients in like this:
First: flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
Second: oats
Third: m&ms
Fourth: chocolate chips
Fifth: brown sugar
Sixth: white sugar
Seventh: chopped pecans (optional)
Pack each level down really tightly. I mean it. Pack it in. Or else it won’t all fit. The chopped pecans go last because if the ingredients were too much or not enough, then you can add more or less pecans to adjust. I didn't add any, but I’d rather sacrifice nuts than chocolate. :)
For the top you will need to cut the fabric into 6 inch squares and the ribbon into 25 inch pieces (depending on how you want your bow to look, I used a little less). Place the fabric on top and tie ribbons around the lid to hold it in place.
I made the directions into stickers to place on the jars. It worked out nice! Here is what the directions said:
PREHEAT OVEN TO 350° F
STIR DRY INGREDIENTS IN A LARGE BOWL AND ADD:
½ CUP BUTTER, (ALMOST MELTED)
1 SLIGHTLY BEATEN EGG
1 TEASPOON VANILLA EXTRACT
COMBINE THOROUGHLY. ROLL INTO
1 ½ INCH BALLS & BAKE
FOR 10 MINUTES!
Love the Collette Family
