Instructions:

– Third layer: 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
– Fourth layer: 1 teaspoon baking powder

3. Close the jar with a lid and attach a label with the following instructions for baking the cookies:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the peanut butter chips and peanuts from the top of the jar and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream 1/2 cup softened butter until smooth. Beat in 1 egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until well blended. Empty the jar contents into the mixing bowl and mix until blended. Stir in the reserved peanut butter chips and peanuts. Drop cookie dough by rounded spoonfuls onto an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
