Carol's Notes:

This is a fun jar recipe for a Christmas gift I think. The recipe and picture came from Taste of Home. Uses Dutch Dark Cocoa and
M & M's whats not to like?

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking soda and salt. In a 1 qt. glass jar, layer the flour mixture, cocoa, sugar, brown sugar, M&M's and baking chips. Cover and store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.
Yield: 1 batch (5 cups of mix) that makes 36 cookies.

RECIPE TO ATTACH TO THE JAR:

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1. In a large bowl, beat the butter, egg and vanilla until well blended. Add contents of jar and stir until combined.
2. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2" apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12-14 minutes or until set.
Remove to wire racks to cool. Store in an airtight container.

how many eggs, and how much vanilla and butter? I don't see that anywhere but I am notorious for overlooking the obvious too ;)

I don't know if I missed something or not, but how many eggs, how much butter and vanilla? Hope I'm not making a fool of myself and missed this... Thanks so much, this does sound delicious.

I can't wait to make this this week then go hunt up some pretty jars and decorate them. I am a jewelry artist so this is how I like to package my gifts :) I'll put a pendant or ring or something in a food safe packet in the middle. I've also packaged up cash and coin in sterile packets and ya I do wash the money and coins first just like I do the jewelry just to be extra safe... It's like a cracker jack prize only better prize and far better goodies! Thanks again!
