Daily Idea #204: Send Thanksgiving to a Friend
This year has been a doozy. Most of us are celebrating Thanksgiving with our immediate families and may be missing the large gathering with friends and family this coming Thursday. So today, we are putting together a small Thanksgiving gift for another family who would have been celebrating with us. We are sending the following cookie recipe (the dry ingredients will go into a mason jar). Once it is all ready, we will carefully bubble wrap it and send it with the instructions for the recipient to make in order to feel like we are together.
ITEMS NEEDED:
1½ cup (180g) all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup (25g) rolled oats
½ cup (90g) packed brown sugar
½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 cup (175g) chocolate chips
Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a medium sized bowl.
Pour flour mixture into the bottom the mason jar. Spread evenly to form a flat layer.
Add oats, then brown sugar, and granulated sugar, flattening each layer as you add them.
FInally, add chocolate chips.
Seal jar tightly with lid and affix the instruction label
