Cookie Jar Mix

A cookie jar mix is a great way to share your favorite cookies. Giving guests everything they need up front, from the ingredients to the recipe, is an incredibly personal way to thank guests. Layering the ingredients and accessorizing the jar is a creative opportunity to incorporate color, style, or any other design element that you love. After the design is settled, it is much easier to add those little details that make a big difference. This wedding favor is a delicious take home treat for guests and it is quite possible that the recipe attached will become a treasured keepsake used many times over.

For the love of cookies.
This holiday cookie in a jar was made as a Christmas gift, but it is also the perfect favor for a December wedding. It could also be easily customized to any season with a change of ribbon and blissful wedding message. Attaching a heart handled whisk, measuring spoon, or cookie cutter only adds to the creativity.

Fresh cookie idea.
For a fresh updated twist, add burlap to your cookie jar. You can then liven it up with vivid bright colors or subtle touches of color in ribbons or fabric.

Our favorite cookies-in-a-jar recipe.

Layer dry cookie ingredients into clear Mason jars or any clear containers:

2 cups flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

Mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Pour this mixture into the bottom of the jar using a funnel to prevent any spillage. Press layer down and then add chocolate chips. Next, the white sugar is added into the jar followed by the brown sugar. Seal the jar with a lid. You may add a piece of fabric to the top of jar and secure with a rubber band or decorative ribbon.

Complete with a note card that includes the following recipe:

Preheat over to 375 degrees. Mix 3/4 cup butter, 1 egg, 3/4 teaspoon vanilla flavoring in a bowl. Add this dry cookie mix. Drop rounded teaspoons onto a baking sheet. Bake 8 to 12 minutes. Cool and enjoy.
