- Nothing beats a gift from the kitchen or something handmade during the holidays! We all like to give and receive these welcomed items! In an effort to get a good jump on holiday gift giving ideas this year we are starting a bit early with this quick and easy, chocolate chip cookie mix in a jar! These go together fast and you can assembly line these in an afternoon and have a bunch of easy gifts ready to give all season long! I have prepared a sheet with four tags that you can print and cut and use to attach to the jars to help the recipient know how to make these delicious chocolate chip cookies!
I have received so many requests for gifts in a jar that I had to start this off with this chocolate chip cookie mix. So easy and budget friendly! Yes the person receiving has to make it up for themselves but who doesn't love a warm chocolate chip cookie, fresh from the oven? They will love you for thinking of them and they already have what they need to prepare the recipe which is butter, one egg and some vanilla. Everything else is in the jar!
Constructing these jars is easy but there are a few rules and tips to consider. First, you always want a jar that is large enough to fit the ingredients but you don't want one that is too large that the contents will just mix up. You want the separation to be seen, it is what gives this gift it's charm. Secondly you want to tamp. Each layer will need to be fully settled before adding the next otherwise you run the risk of running out of room in your jar. Tapping the jar on the counter several times can help as can a tamper to help things along.
The cookie mix starts with a blend of all purpose flour, baking soda and salt that is blended then poured into a one quart jar. Tamp that layer down well then add the chocolate chips on top. Tamp again and add the brown sugar, This is where you will want to really press that down with some sort of tamper. A bent spoon or a wooden tart tamper or even a small glass with a flat bottom will work. You will want to make sure you have enough room for the granulated sugar to sit on the top layer. Now all you need to do is tamp again and put a lid on it! Note, that the jar will be very full all the way to the top.
Filling the jar to the top helps to keep air out. If you have a vacuum sealer with a jar attachment you can use that with a standard canning flat lid and ring to ensure freshness. You can safely prepare these up to 8 weeks in advance of your gift giving. You will want to be sure to seal them accordingly and make sure the brown sugar does not harden making it difficult for the recipient to get the mix out of the jar.
Now for the fun part! Decorate that jar to your heart's content! I have prepared a sheet of tags that you can use to attach to the jars prior to giving. Just cut them apart and punch a hole then attach with a pretty ribbon. Or you can pop the jar in a cute small gift bag and give to your friends, family or coworkers.
I am aware that currently there is a problem in some parts of the country obtaining canning jars. Do not think that you must use a canning jar to give this mix! You can use recycled jars from your groceries that you have soaked the labels off of and washed and thoroughly dried. You can even spray pain the tops to coordinate with your theme. Alternatively you can build this mix in a cellophane bag that can be ordered online then tie with a bow and give with the instructions. If you really want to go all out, take that cello bag of cookie mix and pop it into a cute mixing bowl with a matching spatula, and a couple of wooden spoons. Pop into a shrinkable gift basket bag from the dollar store and use your hair dryer to shrink it down. Tie with a pretty ribbon and you have an impressive gift for anyone on your list!
I hope that you enjoyed learning about how you can make this chocolate chip cookie mix gift in a jar! I hope that you consider adding these to your gift giving list this holiday season and I hope you love them!
Happy Eating and Happy Holidays!

***************NOREEN,
OH MY GOODNESS! YOU ABSOLUTELY READ MY MIND! I actually was wondering last night while laying in bed how to do this exact thing! I THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH and Happy Holidays Early to you and your family!
Made these for Mother’s Day gifts and they turned out so cute and so delicious! 😋
Thank you making the tags!
You are so welcome!
It’s also a great welcome gift for a new neighbor. Bake a dozen and add the jar with it. Tie a pretty bow with you name address and phone number on the back of the instruction card. That way when something weird is going on in the neighborhood, you guys can share the information. God bless! Thanks for the recipe! 👏🏻💕👏🏻

Thank you😃
Regarding canning jars. I purchased some Kerr Quarts from Walmart and they are cracked or chipped. All four boxes. I’ve never had a problem until now. I compared to previous jars and they are different. Just a heads up.
Walmart takes returns so it should not be a problem. I buy jars directly from Ball and have them shipped to me and have never had one jar arrive broken or cracked.
@@noreenskitchenchannel Do you have a link where you purchase from Ball. I'm having a hard time finding their site where I can order from.

@@noreenskitchenchannel Thank you Noreen, but I don't think you can order from that site anymore. (I had already checked but thought maybe you had a link to a different Ball Site that you could actually place orders. All they do is give you a list of retailers where you can purchase. Unfortunately they are all wiped out in my area. Just wanted to give you a heads up!
What’s better light brown sugar or dark brown sugar? Mine’s definitely darker than the one you use is that ok.
How much butter and vanilla do I use? I couldn’t find it .
where can I print the tag
It is included in the printable recipe. Link below in the description as well as in the first pinned comment in the comment section below the video. Hope that helps.
How much egg and vanilla?
Do you have the recipe cards in a MS Word format? I would like to change the size/spacing of the words if possible?
Sorry. I provided the cards in PDF format. I don’t have it any other way. Once it’s stored as a PDF I do not save it.
How do you make these??? How do you separate these ingredients???
First you have a look at the printable recipe where you will find instructions for preparing the cookies. No you do not separate.
Hi!
Where are the links for the tags?
The recipe and the tags are just one link. Its a 2 page PDF
Great but the card that you attach doesn’t tell how much butter nuts or other ingredients that you add. Maybe you card should include a few more instructions
It has been corrected. Thanks for letting me know.
Thanks for the fix
I did not hear or see about the size of jar you used.
I used a quart jar.
@@noreenskitchenchannel thank you.
