Cocoa Peanut Butter Cookie Mix in a Jar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cups packed confectioners' sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
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.
