1 Mason Jar

Colored Cellophane

What to type on label:

Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Jar Recipe

1 cup butter or margarine softened
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Thoroughly blend together the butter, egg, and vanilla.

Empty jar of cookie mix into the butter mix.

Mix until completely blended.

Spray cookie sheet with non-stick spray.

Drop teaspoons full of batter about 2 inches apart on cookie sheet.

Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until lightly browned.

Don’t have an egg? No problem. I didn’t either. 😉 Simply substitute two eggs for 2 tablespoons mayo, 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 3 tablespoons water. Those 3 ingredients will equal your two eggs. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to taste the mayo in there!
