Second Layer: Add 1/2 cup of granulated sugar as the second layer. Press it down slightly to create a firm layer.

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, empty the entire contents of the jar.

Add 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 large egg to the dry ingredients.

Mix until well combined and drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
