Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Jar

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 12 cup granulated sugar
• 1 12 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 cup shortening (you can use butter or margarine but shortening makes the best cookies)

1. Mix the salt and baking soda in with the flour, then layer the ingredients into the jar.
2. Attach a gift card with the following instructions:.
3. Chocolate Chip Cookies.
4. Sift dry ingredients through a colander to separate the chocolate chips from other ingredients.
5. Beat 1 cup of unsalted butter or margarine or shortening in a medium bowl.
6. Beat sifted ingredients into butter until blended.
7. In a small bowl, beat 1 egg with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
8. Mix beaten egg mixture into butter mixture until blended.
9. Stir in chocolate chips.
10. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter, spaced well apart, onto a greased cookie sheet.
11. Bake at 375 degrees F for 8 minutes or until lightly browned.
12. I normally make 20-22 large cookies instead of smaller ones and bake them at 350 degrees F. I have made these vegan by using 1 ener-g egg replacer, prepared instead of the egg with good results.
