There's something fun about receiving a beautifully adorned jar filled with layers of sweet ingredients – a cookie gift jar is a nice touch for secret Santa or a neighbourly gift. These charming jars are not just containers; they're a vessel of joy and sweetness, perfect for gifting on any occasion. The cookie gift jar concept is simple.
Each jar is carefully layered with the dry ingredients needed to whip up a batch of delectable cookies (or you could do brownies, or even a spice mix). The recipient only needs to add a few wet ingredients, mix and bake to transform the jar's contents into a mouth-watering treat.
Crafted with love and attention to detail, these jars often feature decorative labels, ribbons and instructions, enhancing the overall gift-giving experience for you to truly make it personal.
Beyond their aesthetic appeal, cookie gift jars encourage a shared experience. Baking becomes a delightful activity that brings people together, creating lasting memories.
In a world where connections matter, the cookie gift jar is a joy found in simple pleasures. The next time you're searching for the perfect last-minute gift, consider sharing the love with a jarful of happiness – because nothing says 'I care' like a homemade batch of cookies waiting to be baked and savoured.
You'll need:
A large glass jar such as old food jars like olive jars, pickle jars, or even large jam jars.
Cotton balls are optional. They're a cute way to fill the void between the top of ingredients and the lid.
Sticky labels - you can get some nice ones at K-mart, then use fine liners to decorate your message (ie: Merry Christmas Karen).
Ribbons - for that extra touch.
You can use any cookie recipe you have. We have chosen this beautiful one by Dels Cooking Twist which asks for:
Ingredients:
Plain flour
Baking soda
A pinch of salt
Cinnamon (optional)
Rolled oats
Light brown sugar,
Granulated or caster sugar
Chocolate chips
How To:
Firstly you'll need to mix your plain flour with the salt, baking soda and cinnamon, but then all you do is layer! Layer, layer, layer!
It's truly that easy.
