Another favorite of mine is Holiday M&M’s Cookie Mix In A Jar. You use 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar, 1 ¼ cups M&M candies (use holiday colors), 2 cups flour mixed with ½ teaspoon baking soda and ½ teaspoon baking soda. Layer ingredients in order given in 1-quart wide mouth canning jar. Press each layer firmly in place before adding next ingredient. Attach these instructions to the jar:
M&M’s Cookies:
Makes 2 ½ dozen cookies. Empty jar of cookie mix into large mixing bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly blend mix. Add ½ cup very soft butter or margarine, 1 egg (slightly beaten), 1-teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix until completely blended. You will need to finish mixing with your hands. Shape into balls the size of walnut. Place 2 inches apart on sprayed baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees F. for 12 to 14 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.
These are even gifts you can have on hand. Ingredients will stay fresh in these tightly sealed jars. Since M&M”s come in many holiday colors these are a fun cookie to give. They have red and green at Christmas, brown and orange at Halloween, Light pastel colors for Easter and red, pink & white for Valentines Day. Cookies in a jar would be appropriate for any of these holidays.
Have fun making homemade gifts from the heart.
