2 1/2 cups all purpose unbleached flour
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions:

• Combine flour and baking soda - 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 white sugar and pack down, then add brown sugar and pack down. Finally, add chocolate chips.
  
  
• 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.
