I love the idea of a gift in a jar. This is a really cool gift to give especially when you put it into a gift basket and add a decorative kitchen towel, baking implements, etc. to make it extra special.
Holiday M&M's Cookie Mix in a Jar recipe
1 1/4 C. granulated sugar
1 1/4 C. M&M candies (use red and green for Christmas)
2 C. flour mixed with 1/2 t. baking soda and 1/2 t. baking powder
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:
Empty jar of cookie mix into large mixing bowl. Use your hands to thoroughly blend mix, then add:
1/2 C. very soft butter
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 t. vanilla extract (optional)
Mix until completely blended. You will need to finish mixing with your hands. Shape into balls the size of walnuts. Place 2 inches apart on sprayed baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees F for 12 to 14 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.
Makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies
