DIY Mason Jar Cookie Mix

 

 

Cookie mixes in mason jars make great gifts to handout to family and friends. For Mother's Day we had kids put together M&M's cookies in a jar. To start we set up an assembly line for the kids to assemble their jars. Then they got to decorate it with colorful ribbon, paper and gift tag.

 

There are plenty of cookie in a jar recipes available on the web.

Here is a recipe we used for our M& M cookies by www.damndelicious.net
