Everything is just a little cuter in a mason jar…especially cookies! I have always liked getting and giving gifts in a jar.

The Recipe for Cookies in a Jar

This recipe is sized for one quart size mason jar. So if you are making more than one at a time, which I highly recommend since you’re getting all the ingredients out, you’ll need multiple jars.

Ingredients

Layer 1:
1/3 cup sugar
Layer 2
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
Layer 3
3/4 cup flour + 1/2 tsp baking powder + 1/8 tsp salt + pinch of cinnamon and nutmeg mixed together
Layer 4
1 cup rolled oats
Layer 5
1 cup dried cranberries
Layer 6
1 cup white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

In the order listed, layer ingredients in a 1 quart jar.
Attach the following instructions to the jar:
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl with an electric mixer, combine 1/2 cup softened, unsalted butter, 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Add the entire jar of ingredients to the butter mixture.
Using a wooden spoon, mix all ingredients until fully incorporated. This may take a little effort, but it will come together.
Use a medium cookie scoop to measure and drop dough onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on baking sheets for about 2 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

These cookies bake up crisp on the edges and soft on the inside. Perfect!

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.
