Personalizing Your Gift
One of the best parts of making a homemade gift is packaging it. An easy way to make your Cranberry White Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies In A Jar personalized is by adding a little gift tag, either homemade or store bought. Don’t forget to attach the recipe! Here I used printable labels {with the recipe printed small} and attached them to the top of the jar. They fit perfectly!
Here is what I used to personalize the mason jars:
Holiday gift tags
Bakers twine
Sprigs from a pine tree in the yard
Mini ornaments
Printable 2 1/2 inch circle labels
The tags, twine and mini ornaments are from Michael’s.
**You’ll need to purchase the 2 1/2 inch labels and then cut and paste the following instructions into the circles and print.

Wow! Theses cookies look amazing. They’ve come out so well. I love the Mason jar idea too. I got given a cookie mixture in a jar once, I can’t remember much about the cookies but I do remember how nice I thought the gift was. What a lovely idea! Have you given these out for Christmas presents this year Erin?

Hello… I would like to be able to print the labels out but when you click on the link it’s just a advertisement page selling labels. Would like to be able to print your label. TX.
Hi Brisa, Thanks for stopping by. You would need to purchase the 2 1/2 inch labels and cut and paste the cooking making instructions in the circles on your computer. Then print.
