M & M Cookies in a Jar Recipe

Follow these instructions to make M & M cookies in a jar gift and then print out the recipe card to include.

Jar Ingredients:

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup white sugar
  • * M & M's

Filling the Jar:
Layer the ingredients in a quart size canning jar in the order listed. I used a small funnel and it worked pretty good for most of the ingredients! Use enough candy pieces so the jar is full to the top. You can use regular M & M's (I used the red and green ones) or the mini M & M's made for baking. Pack down all ingredients, especially the brown sugar!

Print Out the Recipe:
Print out one of the recipe gift tags here and include it with your cookies in a jar gift. You can also design your own!
