Chocolate Toffee Coconut Cookie Mix in Bonne Maman Jars with Red Plaid Ribbon

‘Tis the season for cookie baking and eating! Over the weekend I made these delicious chocolate toffee coconut cookies for my family and thought it would be fun to create jars filled with cookie dough mix to hand out as Christmas gifts.

Believe me when I say your neighbours, friends, teachers, coworkers, and pretty much anyone else on your list will love the taste of these decadent cookies. It doesn’t get much better than the combination of rich chocolate, along with chewy toffee and coconut. Yum!

In the oven, the toffee melts, leaving a cookie that’s filled with gooey and sticky caramel. Don’t blame me if you can’t stop at just one!

As with most baking mixes, this one includes the dry ingredients needed to make the cookies. The recipient only needs to add a few wet ingredients (butter, eggs and vanilla) before baking. Eliminating a series of steps makes it quick and simple for bakers (and even the non-bakers on your list).

Chocolate Toffee Coconut Cookie Mix Jars with Printable Recipe Instructions

To make it easy, I’ve also created a printable recipe card for you to attach to the jar or baking gift basket (if you’re adding a few more items). As an option, you can simply include the link to this blog post on a handwritten card so they can find the instructions when they’re ready to bake the cookies.

With the busy Christmas Season upon us, having cookie dough mix ready to go is so convenient. Some days call for freshly baked cookies ASAP, especially when there’s a mountain of gifts to wrap. These cookies are the perfect companion to a tall glass of cold milk, mug of coffee or cup of tea.

Ingredients

1⅓ cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
½ cup all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¾ cup packed light brown sugar
1½ cups medium desiccated unsweetened coconut
1 cup toffee baking pieces (Skor bits)

Supplies

Small (250ml) and large (750ml) glass jars OR one, 1 litre jar (see tips below)
Fabric or wrapping paper (optional for covering plain lid)
Printed recipe card (see step 3 below)
Baker’s twine or ribbon, plus small decorations (optional)

Cookie Mix Tips

If you want to use one large jar instead (1 litre size), layer ingredients in order with chocolate chips being at the top. I suggest cutting a disk of parchment paper or using a plastic baggie to separate the toffee baking pieces and chocolate chips. I opted to use Bonne Maman jars I had on hand instead.
Use a funnel, piping bag or small scoop to carefully add each ingredient. Be sure to break up any lumps before adding.

Step One: Place chocolate chips in the small jar.

Start layering ingredients in the large jar, pressing down slightly and levelling as you add each layer in order:

flour, salt, baking powder
brown sugar
coconut
toffee baking pieces

Step Two: Fasten lids to jars. If they’re plain, cover with small piece of fabric or wrapping paper. For 2-piece lids, simply sandwich between the snap lid and ring. You could use a bit of hot glue to secure instead.

Step Three: Secure jars together with ribbon, baker’s twine and/or hot glue. As an option, add jars to gift basket or box.

Print Your Cookie Recipe Card

Step Four: Download the cookie recipe instructions and print on white card stock (8.5×11″) using the best quality setting on your printer. Cut out and attach using a hole punch and baker’s twine, or simply place in basket. Add decoration(s).

This cookie mix will keep in a dark, cool, dry place, such as a cupboard or pantry for up to 2 months. Be sure to use fresh ingredients when you put together.

Tip: Place the toffee bits in a plastic baggie before placing them in the jar (if you haven’t already) to prevent them from going soft.

Making the Cookies From Scratch

Of course, if you just want to make the cookies for yourself instead of preparing the jars, add the dry ingredients to a bowl, setting aside ½ cup of chocolate chips first. Then, follow the instructions for preparing the cookie dough and baking. Refer to the recipe card below for measurements and steps.

If you plan on baking the cookies to hand out, I encourage you to check out how to package cookies as gifts.
