How to Make Gingersnap Mix In A Jar

  1. Spoon 1 cup packed light brown sugar into a 1-quart jar, pressing down firmly for an even layer.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. Sift the dry ingredients (flour mixture) into the jar on top of the brown sugar.
  4. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons ground ginger, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves over the flour mixture.
  5. Seal the jar tightly. Attach a gift tag with the following baking instructions:
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Pour the contents of the jar into a large bowl. Stir in 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) melted unsalted butter and 1 large egg until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly browned. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
