How to Make Decadent Cocoa Oatmeal Cookie Mix
- Toast macadamia nuts: Spread 1/2 cup macadamia nuts in a single layer in a heavy-bottomed skillet. Cook over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until lightly browned. Remove from skillet immediately and cool completely.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 2 teaspoons baking powder.
- Layer the jar: Pour the dry ingredients into a 1-quart wide-mouth jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pack down firmly.
- Add sugars: Place 1 cup granulated sugar and ¾ cup packed brown sugar into separate resealable plastic bags, removing excess air before sealing.
- Layer the jar (continued): Layer the sugar bags in the jar, packing firmly after each bag.
- Add remaining ingredients: Layer 1 cup chocolate chips, the toasted macadamia nuts, and 1 cup rolled oats attractively in the jar. Pack down firmly after each layer.
- Seal and decorate: Seal the jar tightly. Cover the top with fabric and attach a gift tag/recipe card with raffia or ribbon.
- Baking instructions (for recipient):
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine ingredients: Remove all bags from the jar. In a medium bowl, combine the chocolate chips, nuts, and oats from the jar.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the granulated and brown sugar from the bags and mix well.
- Add wet ingredients: Add 1 large egg and ½ teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat until just combined.
- Combine wet and dry: Add the flour/cocoa mixture from the jar and beat on low speed until just incorporated.
- Add oat mixture: Stir in the oat mixture by hand.
- Bake cookies: Shape the dough into 1-inch balls, place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet, and slightly flatten each ball with the back of a spoon. Bake for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are firm.
- Cool and enjoy: Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
