Christine received an unusual birthday gift from her friend, Michelle. It was a clear glass
jar filled with flour, salt, baking soda, white sugar, brown sugar, and chocolate candies. A
small wooden mixing spoon was attached to the lid of the jar with some twine. On the
lid of the jar were these instructions:
In addition, you will need: 2 sticks of softened butter, 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla
extract. After you have gathered these additional ingredients, empty the jar contents into
a mixing bowl. Use the spoon to mix. In a separate bowl, blend the butter, vanilla, and
egg together. Add the dry ingredients to the butter, vanilla, and egg mixture. Stir well.
Using the spoon, place a dozen dollops onto a baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for eight
to ten minutes. Centers will be soft. Makes about three dozen.
Christine asked her mother to help her make the tasty treats and when they were done,
she invited Michelle over to have a taste of the birthday gift she had given her.
