Instructions

To Assemble the Mason Jar Mix:

  • Add the flour to the mason jar. Then add the baking soda and baking powder on top.
  • Pack the ingredients in tight using either a tamper tart tool or a packing utensil.
  • Clean the inside of the jar so there is no excess flour. You want to see a straight line of flour.

  • Add the white chocolate chips in on top and gently pack them in. Do not press too hard or they will start to break.
  • Finally add the macadamia nuts on top.
  • Add the lid, place the fabric on top and secure with string. Add the recipe card.

To Bake the Cookies:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the egg, butter and vanilla.
  • Fold the ingredients of the mason jar into the wet ingredients until combined.
  • Use a cookie scoop and dollop the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet with about an inch in between each cookie.
  • Bake for 8 - 10 minutes or until the cookies are golden brown. Remove the tray from the oven.
  • All the cookies to rest on the baking tray for 10 - 15 minutes before removing to a cookie rack to finish cooling.

Notes

  • Layer the dry ingredients in the jar in a specific order.
  • Use a small spoon or the back of a measuring cup to pack down each layer to ensure that the ingredients fit tightly in the jar. This will prevent air pockets and keep the ingredients fresh.
  • This recipe will fill a standard 32-ounce mason jar.
