Natasha Herleman • November 10, 2020
Are you looking for an awesome gift for your loved ones? These Mason-jar, chocolate chip cookies are a simple and delicious treat that anyone will love to receive. All you need to make this gift is a jar and baking ingredients. The person you gift this to will then add ¾ cup butter, an egg and ¾ teaspoon vanilla extract.
Ingredients you will need
- 1¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¾ cup packed brown sugar
- 1½ cups (9 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Supplies you will need
- Quart-size Mason jar
- Ribbon
- Instruction tag
To start, mix the flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. After those are thoroughly combined, place them into the Mason jar. Pack this mixture down into an even level. Next, add the granulated sugar layer and pack it down into an even level and then add the brown sugar layer. Top off the jar with a layer of chocolate chips.
After the jar is complete, create an instruction label for the jar. You may personalize this in any way you choose but make sure it includes these instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, combine ¾ cup of butter, an egg and
¾ teaspoon vanilla extract.Then, add the dry ingredients from Mason jar and mix well. Place on an ungreased baking pan and bake for 9 to 11 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool before enjoying!

As we move into the second quarter of another exciting year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and share some of the new initiatives we are implementing in the realms of sales, marketing and community engagement. Over the past year, GBU Life has reached significant milestones thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team and the trust and support of our members. Our sales department has exceeded targets, and we have expanded our reach to more communities than ever before. We have launched several successful marketing campaigns that have not only increased our visibility but have also strengthened our brand's presence in the industry. For this year, our focus will be educating potential new members on the importance of securing their financial futures through life insurance and annuity products while serving their communities as part of our great Society. Looking ahead, we are committed to enhancing our sales strategies to better serve you. We are introducing some tools for our agents to enhance our products. One new tool is our Defined Benefit Annuity program which combines the Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) with a software tool that can help determine retirement savings needs and break them down into contributions over time to help you meet your retirement goals. Be sure to keep in touch with your GBU agent to review your plans and products to see how adding an FIA to your retirement planning can help boost your savings efforts
GBU has designated four Community Pillars - Wellness, Education, Charitable Giving and Hometown Hero Support - which are a concentrated list of causes that resonate with our values.
