Cocoa Peanut Butter Cookie Mix

Recipes in a Jar

These make great gifts for friends and family for every occasion from Christmas to birthdays, to mothers day's and even just a pick me up for someone who is feeling down.

For these recipes you will need a jar that holds around 1 quart or 1.130 litres.
If your jar is airtight add the ingredients directly otherwise place them into
an airtight or ziplock bag and attach the recipe card instructions.

Tie the whole jar up with some cellophane or add some curling ribbons and a bow to finish off this gift

Jar Ingredients:
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups packed confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and salt. Layer
ingredients in order given in a 1 quart ''wide mouth'' canning jar. Clean the
inside of the jar with a dry paper towel after adding the confectioners' sugar and
after adding the cocoa powder. Be sure to pack everything down firmly before adding
the flour mixture, it will be a tight fit.
