Instructions
It wouldn't be Christmas time without the smell of gingerbread cookies baking! Compliment your Gingerbread Cookie Mix in a jar with a cute gingerbread man cookie cutter. You can tie it on with ribbon or wrap him up.
Step 1
Using the canning funnel (purchase for $1.25 at Walmart in the canning jar section), pour into the jar 1/2 of the flour (1-3/4 cups), baking powder and baking soda. Pack the layers firmly after each layer. Next layer the brown sugar and spices. Pour in the remaining flour as your last layer.
Step 2
On your tag or sticker, put these directions: "Empty jar of cookie mix into large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly. Mix in 1/2 cup softened butter, 3/4 cup molasses and 1 egg. Mix until completely blended. Cover and refrigerate 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F. Roll dough to 1/4 inch thick on a lightly floured surface. Cut into shapes. Place cookies on lightly greased cookie sheet about 2" apart. Bake 10 to 15 minutes. Decorate with icing."
