Layer the ingredients in a pint (16 oz) mason jar in the order listed above for a decorative look.

Seal tightly and include the baking instructions on a gift tag or label.

Instructions for Baking:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Empty the mason jar contents into a mixing bowl.

Add 1/4 cup melted butter, 1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon red food coloring. Mix until well combined.

Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are soft.

Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
