Baking the cookies:

Wet Ingredients (To mix with dry cookie mix)

• 3/4 cup salted butter, softened

• 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk

• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a large bowl, cream together:

   • 3/4 cup salted butter (softened)

   • 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk

   • 1 tsp vanilla extractMix until smooth and slightly fluffy.

3. Shake the mason jar cookie mix until layers are well mixed

4. Pour the contents of the mason jar into the bowl and stir until everything is just combined. Don’t overmix—just enough to bring the dough together.

5. Scoop dough into 2–3 tablespoon portions and place on the baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie (Note: the cookies will spread!)

6. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers still look soft. They’ll firm up as they cool.

7. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5–10 minutes before transferring.
