M&M Mason Jar Cookies
Growing up, my mom always made homemade gifts for neighbors and co-workers, and itโs a tradition Iโve tried to carry on.
I love cookies, and to me, thereโs nothing better than a gift thatโs not only delicious but also makes life a little easier during the busy holiday season.
Gifting someone a cookie mix they can whip up in minutes for Santa on Christmas Eve or quickly bake before guests arrive is truly a great gift. So today, Iโm sharing the best way to assemble a truly amazing gift!

Hi!
Can you tell me if the flour should be sifted first and then measured or should the flour be packed out or just measure with a cup?
No need to sift!
The Xmas m&m mason jar recipe how many cookies does it make? And is there a way to print that somewhere on the recipe cards?
Thanks!
They make 24 cookies! And click the print here button under the recipe card to get the full-free printable recipe! ๐
These are always a hit during the holidays. I thought I would make them as parting gifts for my birthday party. I would like to find some labels with the recipe that are not Christmas themed. Any advise? Colors are purple, lavender, white and/or gold. thank you
I have a few more like these for different holidays but I donโt have any for birthdays! Iโm sure you could find some on Etsy! ๐
Hi, can you use margarine in place of sugar for any of the recipes?
No, that wonโt work, sorry!
these are all really good recipes.
AMAZING Cookies! Loved the recipe cards & jars turned out great!
I am so happy to hear! Thanks Nina! ๐
Great idea!
Thanks! ๐
How on Earth can I get this to print in color? Is there a color purchase option for the printable? My printer is is working just fine too as I printed a test page in color.
Are you clicking the download link? I havenโt heard of anyone having problems printing this in color! You could also try a different browser?
What would be the Australian version to this?
Thanks
Iโm so excited about these, Chelsea! Thank you. Iโm wonderingโฆis it a โmustโ to use unsalted butter to make these? I never have that on handโฆ
Not a must! Youโll just want to adjust the amount of salt you add in (you might not want to add any at all!)
