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?
