Pint Size Mason Jar Cookie Mix

I decided to make mason jar cookie mixes for my BFF's bridal shower.  Her wedding theme is chalkboards (sorta vintage-ish) and her colors are lavender and seafoam.  I googled tons of mason jar cookie mixes but found that almost all recipes are made for quart size jars.  I decided to use Bakerella's   Cowgirl Cookie Mix (I cut the recipe in half) and I called it Hulagirl cookies because the name better fit the bride-to-be.  If you want the original Quart Size Cowgirl Cookie recipe click HERE.  I am also grateful that Loralee Lewis' posted a PINT SIZE mason jar Christmas Girlfriend Cookie Mix, on her blog.  I followed her recipe, tips, and even appreciated her free labels.  Be sure to read all the tips at the bottom of this post, I found them very helpful when making the cookie mixes.  Props to my Mom for helping my make all 50 jars!

PINT SIZE...... Hula Girl Cookies 
(aka Cowgirl Cookies) 

2/3 Cup Flour

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/8 tsp. salt

1/2 cup oats

1/2 cup m&m's

1/2 cup chocolate chips

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup white sugar

*OPTIONAL- you can add 1/4 cup of walnuts but you will need to cut back on the m&m's and/or chocolate chips.

Directions: Stir all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
Add:
1 slightly beaten egg
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix we ingredients into dry ingredients.  Then roll the cookie dough into 1-1 1/2 inch balls, place on parchment covered baking sheets and bake for about 10 minutes in a preheated 350 degree oven.  Makes about 12-18 cookies.

Tips: 
-The easiest way to keep the flour from getting all over your clean (newly washed) mason jars is to cut the large tip of a disposable decorating bag (I used the Wilton one) or you can use a Ziploc and use it as a funnel.

-After layering the chocolate chips, I used the bottom of my 1/3 measuring cup to push down the ingredients so that the brown and white sugars could fit (everything barely fits).

-Don't forget to include the instructions on how to bake the cookies.  I will post a picture of my tags later.  I used my Cricut to cut out tags, and then printed the instructions and glued them together.
