Cookie Mix in a Mason Jar – Sarahs Ink Spot

Here is a quick and easy little treat for last minute gifting…a mason jar filled with all the dry ingredients already measured out to make a batch of homemade cookies!

And on the back of the jar is a recipe card so that it is easy for the gift recipient to make their batch of delicious cookies using this pre-measured mix!

Here is my tutorial so that you can make your own Mason Jar gift – at the end of this tutorial you will find a printable version too so that you can print it out and keep it for reference along with the recipe card.

Supplies that I used to make this project:

1 Quart sized Wide-Mouth Mason Jar with band & lid
Dry pantry ingredients as listed below
Howl-O-ween Treats Stamp Set
Boo to You Framelits Dies
Happy Haunting DSP
Basic Black 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon
Silver Sequin Trim
Silver Cording Trim
2 1/2″ Circle Punch

Fill the jar:

First you are going to fill your jars in layers with the dry ingredients – I use a canning funnel to make this easy – layer as follows:

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2/3 cup chocolate chips
2/3 cup M&Ms or Reeses Minis

And then screw on the lid.

The lid:

Cut out a circle of designer series paper using a 2 1/2″ Circle Punch and adhere it to the lid.

Adhere a piece of ribbon to the band of the lid to pull your theme together.

The recipe card:

Print out the recipe card on a piece of cardstock, trim to size & fold in half – I found this recipe on the website www.lilluna.com – click HERE to find that Recipe Card

Hold it on the back of the jar and tie around a piece of Silver Cording Trim to hold it in place – secure with a knot at the front of the jar – if you want this card to be held more securely, use a small piece of tape to hold it there…
