Ingredients:


1 1/2 cups brown sugar

1 tablespoons dried grated orange rind

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 teaspoons baking powder

3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
 

Preparation / Directions:


1. Combine flour, baking powder and orange rind - stir well. Place flour mixture in a clean mason jar. Pack down tight so everything will fit in the jar. (Use a spoon or a mallet.) Add other ingredients, one item at a time, packing each layer down.

2. Put the lid on the jar and tie a ribbon around the lid. You can add a personalized label, if you wish. As an added touch, tie a wooden spoon to the lid with a piece of ribbon.

3. Print out the following instructions on a gift card and tape the card to the jar:

Whip 1 cup of butter or shortening until light and fluffy. Add 2 eggs, 1/2 cup sour cream and 1 tsp. vanilla and beat until mixed. Stir in the ingredients from this jar until well combined. Drop teaspoons of dough on a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 12 minutes at 350 degrees F. You can ice these with a thin icing made of 1 cup icing sugar and enough orange juice to make the icing spreadable.
