Cookie in a Jar

My children went to a birthday party a few weeks ago and when I posted the photo of the "goodie bag" a lot of you requested to know how it was done. My very creative friend kindly shared how she created this "cookie in a jar recipe"

Here are the ingredients and how to layer...

1 and 1/3 cup of plain flour

1 cup baking powder

1 cup baking soda

1/4 tea spoon salt

1 cup cooking oats

3/4 cup m&ms

3/4 cup choco chips (I used white but you can use whatever ones you want)

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar (normal sugar not caster)

To layer

1st- flour, salt, baking soda and powder

2nd- oats

3rd- m&ms

4th- choco chips

5th- brown sugar

6th- white sugar.

Of course you can substitute the m&m's and milk chocolate chips for something else, depending what kind of cookies you want to create.

She then made a label and stuck it on top of the jar with the instructions for cooking!

Again you can display this in a different way. You could print it on a tag and tie a bow on to the jar and loop it through.

These particular mason jars are just slightly under 1 litre I believe and they are from "home bargains" at a bargain price of 99p.

I've stocked up as I'm going to be using them for Christmas gift ideas. After trawling the internet and spending time on Pinterest, I have found some great Christmas cookie recipes that I will share in the lead up to Christmas.

These cookies were really quick and easy to make and tasted Amazing!!!
