If you need to cream sugar and butter together, then that may not be a good recipe to use, but I'm sure you can find others that don't have that step.

OP here. Yeah, this is the problem- you do need to cream the sugar (brown and white) with the butter. Looks like it won't work.

To the other posters- trust me, many a test run has already been done! A minute on the lips, a lifetime on the hips!

It will still work. Or, better yet, make a "practice" batch

Maybe you can bake the chocolate chip cookies from your recipe at the party, and do a simpler recipe for the jars.

Any reason you can't do a test run with your recipe?

Thanks. I'm not on Pinterest, but I did Google recipes and they all seem to have you just dump everything into a bowl. So that's why I'm wondering if my recipe won't work.

Google cookie in a jar. Or Pinterest.

My daughter will be having a cooking/baking party for her birthday and she wants to do a cookie-in-a-jar activity with her friends. I have a tasty chocolate chip cookie recipe she wants to use, but am unsure if it would work, b/c from my understanding of cookie-in-a-jar type recipes, you just dump all the jarred contents into a bowl. My particular recipe has you adding the flour, sugar, and chocolate chips in a t different times.

I assume something like this recipe won't work then?
