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???
