12 Days of Christmas Cookies Countdown Day 2-Gifts in a Jar

Today's cookie recipe is a bit out-of-the-box.  Even though it's in a jar.

I love making gifts in a jar for presents and they're equally fun to receive.  I made these ones as gifts last year.  Here are a couple great places to find cookies in a jar instructions with recipes:

Double Chocolate Cookies-Chocablog

Holiday Cookies in a Jar-Family Fun

Cowgirl Cookies-Bakerella

Butterscotch Pecan Cookies-Domino Sugar

Gramma Cookies-Purple Lemon Designs

Gifts in a Jar-Craft Bits (there are a ton of recipes on this site!)

And of course, you don't have to keep these in the jar.  You can go ahead and bake up a batch and skip the jar step all together!

Don't forget to link up your cookie recipes!

I originally made these as Christmas gifts, but they work for any time of year.  You can find all kinds of Gift in a Jar recipes on Craft Bits.  There's everything from cookies to cakes to brownies to fudge.

 To make one, you'll need:


1 quart glass wide-mouth jar with lid
Fabric
Ribbon or rafia

Ingredients as listed for whichever recipe you choose to use


Assemble ingredients in jar as instructed.  Copy recipe on card.  Cover top with fabric and tie recipe card on around top of jar.

That's it!  You're done!
