One of my favorite gifts to give is a gift in a jar! Last year I made a wonderful soup mix which I gave as gifts. This year I am making a M&M Cookie Mix. When you use the green and red M&Ms that are available this time of year it looks quite festive. Even the flour sifting down over the M&Ms looks like snow!
The recipient of this gift just has to add a few ingredients and in no time at all you have homemade cookies! Don’t forget to include the recipe on your jar!
M&M Cookie Mix
1 Cup M&M candies
2 cups flour
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 ¼ cup sugar
Layer the ingredients in the order given into a wide mouth 1-quart canning jar. Pack each layer in place before adding the next ingredient.
Attach a gift tag with the mixing and baking direction.
Directions:
1 jar M&M Cookie Mix
¾ cup butter, softened
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla
Preheat your oven to 375. In a large bowl, cream the butter, eggs and vanilla. Add the M&M Cookie Mix and stir until the mixture is well blended. Drop by rounded tablespoonsful onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Enjoy!
