How to Make Easter Cookies in a Jar
I tried something new this year. Since Target was out of Easter M&Ms the day I went {I know, totally strange}, they did have strawberry shortcake ones, so I tried them and the cookies came out smelling and tasting A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
Plus, the pink and white candies make them all the more adorable! This time of year I can get away with decorating and baking with pink – it’s great! Regular M&Ms are great in this cookie in a jar, too.
Here are the layers you’ll put into your jar:
Layer 1
1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt
Layer 2
1/2 cup brown sugar
Layer 3
1/2 granulated sugar
Layer 4
2/3 cup white chocolate chips
Layer 5
2/3 cup Easter M&Ms (any variety)

If you’re giving your cookies as a gift, make sure to download the baking instruction tag here.
With a homemade tag that said ‘Celebrate’, I gave a jar away with some fresh baked cookies as a thank you gift to a family for being amazing team managers for my son’s basketball team.
I hear their whole family loved them! They, in turn, made the cookies for their teachers, so the gift kept on giving! Love that!
See how good they look???
