Here is one of my favorites:
Ultimate Chippers Mix (makes one 1-quart jar)
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup coarsely chopped pecans (optional, toasted tastes best)
1) Combine flour, baking soda and salt in medium bowl; stir well. Por 3/4 cup flour mixture into 1-quart wide-mouth jar with tight-fitting lid; pack down well. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar, remaining flour mixture and remaining brown sugar to jar; pack down well after each layer. Add granulated sugar, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, pecans (optional) and remaining chocolate chips; pack down lightly after each layer. Seal jar.
2) Cover top of jar with fabric. Attach gift tag to jar with raffia or ribbon, do not forget the directions to make the cookies (below).
