Preparation

Step 1

Prep: 20 minutes
Chill: 1 Hour
Bake: 13 to 15 minutes

1. Dry Mix: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

2. Layer dry mix ingredients in jar: Spoon flour mixture into bottom of jar and press down hard to compact (a small spice jar works well for compacting). It needs to be at about the 1-1/4-cup mark on the jar to insure that there is enough room for all ingredients. Continue layering with cocoa powder, granulated sugar and turbinado sugar, compacting each layer. Add chips and nuts. Close jar tightly. Store up to 2 weeks at room temperature.

3. Write or type the following recipe on a gift card and attach it to the jar with ribbon.
