1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1-1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Mix the salt and baking soda in with the flour, then layer the ingredients a quart-size jar in the order listed, with the chocolate chips on top. Use scissors to cut a 9 inch-diameter circle from calico. Place over lid and secure with rubber band. Tie on a raffia or ribbon bow to cover rubber band.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sift dry ingredients through a colander to separate the chocolate chips from other ingredients. Beat butter in a medium bowl until creamy. Beat sifted ingredients into butter until blended. In a small bowl, beat egg with vanilla. Mix beaten egg mixture into butter mixture until blended. Stir in chocolate chips. Drop teaspoonfuls of batter, spaced well apart, onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake 8 minutes or until lightly browned.

These were a cinch to make! And cost maybe three dollars when you break it down per jar. I'm making dozens and giving them away for Christmas. Would make a nice gift for any holiday, just change the color of fabric on top and add an appropriate cookie cutter to the jar.

I made 14 this year for Christmas gifts, and they were a hit. They were fun to make and give. I may even do them again next year, if I can find enough jars.

It's nearly impossible to fit the ingredients into the quart jar. certainly not as listed. need to put sugar in last in order to just fill in spaces in the choc chips.
