3/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup vanilla baking chips
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
Directions:
Carefully place the chocolate chips on top of the cocoa. Especially the first layer, again to avoid a cocoa cloud. I put my hand in the jar and placed the first layer so that I was not dropping the chocolate chips a long distance onto the cocoa.
Pour the vanilla chips on top of the chocolate chips.
Pack the brown sugar on top of the vanilla chips. (It is important to pack each layer so that everything will fit.)
Use a funnel to poor in the white sugar & remaining flour. Depending on how well the ingredients are packed, you may need to put in half the flour, then pack it before adding the rest.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease one 9×9 inch square baking pan.
2. Pour the contents of the jar into a large bowl, and mix well.
3. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla, 2/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3 eggs. Beat until combined.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
The brownies were the hardest to place in a jar because of the cocoa. Here are 2 of the cookie recipes I tried.
