Description

This meticulously layered cookie mix makes for a stunning edible gift that balances food science with delicious results. Each jar contains the perfect ratio of ingredients to ensure the recipient bakes cookies with a professional texture and vibrant appearance.


Ingredients

  • 175 g light brown soft sugar
  • 275 g plain flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 150 g chocolate chips
  • 150 g M&Ms


Instructions

  1. Select a 750ml glass jar and verify it is completely dry to prevent ingredients from reacting prematurely.
  2. Pour the light brown soft sugar into the bottom and press it down firmly with a tamper to create a solid, level base.
  3. Whisk the flour, baking powder, cornflour, and sea salt in a separate bowl to ensure even distribution before spooning it over the sugar.
  4. Layer the chocolate chips and then the M&Ms on top, filling the jar to the brim to prevent the layers from shifting during transport.
  5. Seal the lid tightly and attach a label instructing the baker to mix the jar with 125g room temperature butter and 1 egg before baking at 180°C for 11-13 minutes.

Notes

To achieve the cleanest layers, use a wide-mouth funnel and wipe the inside of the glass with a dry cloth between additions to remove stray flour particles. If you are gifting these to someone without a scale, remind them to aerate their butter properly for the best cookie spread.
