Im going to be posting some frugal Christmas gifts over the next couple of weeks. These are free to cheap things and mostly home-made. I have also started a small store with Christmas gift ideas that can be bought online. I will only put the best deals in there and will let you know as I update it. I will put the link up soon!
This is my FAVORITE thing to make each year. Use a large Mason Jar, with a lid, you will need fabric or ribbon to decorate it and a small card to put the recipe!
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups Chocolate Morsels
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups Chocolate Morsels
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
This is where you get unique, after the choc morsels, you can add in anything you choose, some things I have used are:
Rice krispies, m&m’s, white choc chips, oatmeal, etc. (use red&white m&m’s to make it super Christmasy!) You can also use cocoa krispies.
COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Place flour mixture in 1-quart jar. Layer remaining ingredients in order listed above, pressing firmly after each layer. Close/seal lid and decorate with fabric and ribbon.
Make a super cute tag with the recipe on it:
PREHEAT oven to 375° F. Beat 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) softened butter or margarine, 1 large egg and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract in large mixer bowl until blended. Add cookie mix, mix well, breaking up any clumps. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely. Makes about 2 dozen cookies
