All the cookies to rest on the baking tray for 10 - 15 minutes before removing to a cookie rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Tips

This recipe will fill one standard 32-ounce mason jar.
Pack each layer firmly using a spoon or tart tamper so the ingredients fit neatly in the jar and create clean, even layers.
Wipe the inside of the jar with a damp paper towel as you go to keep the layers visible and defined.
Use a wide mouth funnel to make filling the jar easier and less messy.

Storage & Make Ahead

Store the sealed jar in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
Once baked, keep cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
The jar can be assembled in advance, making it a simple and convenient gift option.
