Does anyone understand this?

cooky sent me this crazy (cooky?) e-mail forward with tons of holiday cookie recipes. I'm beginning to plan out my experiments (to commence next weekend) and I came across this concoction.

Sand Art Brownies

2/3 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup plus 1/8 cup flour
1/3 cup cocoa
1/2 cup flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup vanilla-flavored baking chips
walnuts to fill jar (about 1/2 cup)

Place ingredients in order listed in a quart-sized jar. Tamp ingredients down. Attach the following directions to the jar: Mix with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and three eggs. Spread into a greased 9x9 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until done.

I'm confused. "Attach the following directions to the jar?" What's the whole point of preparing this in the jar if you're just going to pour it into a pan? Also, if anyone's ever seen vanilla-flavored baking chips, I'd like to know.

cooky: I believe this one is going to be filed under "bizarre."

Frankly, I'm pretty sure over half of the recipes could likewise be filed.

Looking forward to the cookies! Cookie post and Costa Rica soon to come.
