Last year’s teacher’s present was a mason jar with layered dry ingredients for homemade cookies (I knew the teacher had a daughter and thought it might be an activity they do together). It was an easy gift. An inexpensive gift. And not just another thing for the teacher to dust.
Sometimes, homemade food gifts are just the right gift to give.
How pretty is layered Lentil Soup in a jar?!
Or Strawberry Freezer Jam?
Or these Quick-Mix Chocolate Cookies
Which look so good – I just have to share the recipe…
Ingredients:
1 pkg Betty Crocker* SuperMoist Devil’s Food Cake Mix
1/2 cup (125 mL) vegetable oil
1 tsp (5 mL) vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup (50 mL) granulated sugar
Method:
- Heat oven to 350ºF. In large bowl, mix cake mix, oil, vanilla and eggs with spoon until dough forms.
- Shape dough into 1-inch balls; roll in sugar. On ungreased baking sheets, place balls about 2 inches apart.
- Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until set. Cool 1 minute; remove from baking sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store tightly covered.
