Mason Jar M&M Cookie Mix Recipe Gift Idea

Cookies are a must when the holidays are around, and this M&M cookie mix recipe is a great gift idea. Family Engineered on YouTube shows how simple it is to combine all of the ingredients into a mason jar to make it decorative. I love how you can decorate this mason jar with Christmas fabric designs or tie red and green ribbons around the jar. There are many ways to be creative with this gift idea, and I think it’s a great way to personalize a gift. I think homemade gifts are more thoughtful, and they save a lot of money if you have a few people to get a gift for. I would add instructions on a card, and attach it with a ribbon onto the mason jar. This is a cute holiday gift that’s easy to make.

Ingredients:

• 1-1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup red and green M&Ms
• 1/3 light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• a handful of chocolate chips

Supplies:

• empty large mason jars
• paper plate (to make a funnel)
• ribbons, optional
• Christmas fabric, optional

Directions:

First, add flour into an empty mason jar. Use a paper plate as funnel to keep the sides of the glass clean and without any fallout. Then, add all of the dry ingredients into the jar.

Next, layer the mason jar with M&Ms, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and chocolate chips. Make sure to compact the ingredients evenly so it looks clean from the outside of the jar. Continue to watch Family Engineered tutorial on YouTube for full instructions and details.

Add any decoration on the mason jars to be customizable and creative. I think mason jar gifts are so cute because you are able to reuse the jar for other things.
