This is for LaraW, who wanted some instructions on making layers cookie mix in a jar. I know there were others posted last year, as well as some links to other sites, but I could not find them in the archives.
Brownie Mix in a Jar

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Layer ingredients in a 1 quart "wide mouth" canning jar. Press each layer firmly in place before adding the flour mixture. NOTE: Be sure to wipe out the inside of the jar with a dry paper towel after adding the cocoa powder.
