  11. Combine the jar contents with melted butter and the egg in a large bowl.
  12. Mix everything together thoroughly using a wooden spoon.
  13. Refrigerate the cookie dough for thirty minutes.
  14. Preheat the oven to 375F.
  15. Scoop the dough onto the prepared trays spacing them two inches apart.
  16. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until light golden brown.
  17. Allow to rest for two minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.

Notes

Always pack the brown sugar layer down as tightly as possible to ensure all the remaining ingredients fit into the quart-sized jar perfectly.
If you want to make smaller cookies, roll the dough into 18 balls and reduce the baking time to 8-10 minutes.
