Cookie exchange day 4- cookies in a jar (great gift idea)


Great gifts. Share your love of baking with others. I love this idea. Make a basket (for the basket use an air tight container so they can store the cookies after they bake) with the cookie in a jar, wooden spoon, cookie sheet and recipe card!

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions
Layer the ingredients in a 1 quart jar in the order given. Press each layer firmly in place before adding the next layer.
