Chocolate Gingerbread Crunch Cookies-Mason Jar Cookie Mix

 Prep Time: 10 minutes  |  Cook Time: 10 minutes |  Makes: 48 cookies

 Ingredients:

 2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup Nature’s Path Love Crunch® – Gingerbread
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp water (or milk!)
1 tsp vanilla

Directions:

Mason Jar Cookie Mix:

In a wide-mouth 4-cup mason jar, layer the flour, baking soda, salt, granola, brown sugar, granulated sugar and chocolate chips. Cover with tight-fitting lid. Decorate jar as desired and attach cookie recipe.**

Chocolate Gingerbread Crunch Cookies:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, with electric beaters, beat butter, maple syrup, water and vanilla together until light and fluffy. Add contents of jar and stir until well blended.

Using a tablespoon, shape into balls and place on parchment-paper lined baking sheets. Flatten slightly.

Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly golden. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer to racks and cool completely.

** I would suggest changing the order so that the granola is between the chocolate chips and the flour.  When I followed the order listed I ended up with unusable and rock hard brown sugar from it wicking the moisture from the granola.
