How to Make Pink Polka Dot Cookies Gift Mix In A Jar

  1. **Prepare the Gift Jar:** Wash and thoroughly dry a 1-quart wide-mouth canning jar.
  2. **Layer the Dry Ingredients:** Add ingredients to the jar in this order, pressing firmly with a flat-bottomed object after each layer to ensure even packing:
  3. * 2 cups all-purpose flour
  4. * 1 teaspoon baking soda
  5. * 1/2 teaspoon salt
  6. * 1 cup granulated sugar
  7. * 1 cup packed light brown sugar
  8. * 1 cup white chocolate chips
  9. **Seal and Decorate:** Secure the lid and decorate the jar with a pink polka dot ribbon or label.
  10. **Attach Instructions:** Include the gift tag with baking instructions (see below).
  11. **Baking Instructions (for the recipient):**
  12. * **Gather your wet ingredients:** 3/4 cup buttermilk, 8 drops pink food coloring, 1/2 cup solid butter-flavored shortening, 1 large egg, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  13. * **Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).**
  14. * **Combine wet ingredients:** In a large bowl, whisk together buttermilk and food coloring. Beat in the shortening, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  15. * **Add dry ingredients:** Pour the contents of the jar into the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  16. * **Bake the cookies:** Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between cookies.
  17. * **Bake for 9-11 minutes,** or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  18. * **Cool:** Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 3 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  19. * **Enjoy!** Store leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
