DIY cookie Christmas

DIY COOKIE MIX CHRISTMAS GIFT

On a budget? Want to still have a meaningful gift for a friend of family member? Like to bake or have a favorite cookie? Well if you answered yes to these questions then I've got a great project for you! 

What you will need to do: Firstly, find your favorite cookie recipe and gather all the dry ingredients! You will also need a clear jar of some kind to display the ingredient layers in. 

 Next measure out the dry ingredients and put them in the jars. I have a bunch of relatives and friends so I made a kind of assembly line for this process. I also found that using a funnel helped a lot contain the mess (although my husband says no matter what project I do in the kitchen it looks like a tornado went through).

Once the jars are filled the next step is to add the left over instructions and Christmas touch. For this part I grabbed some tissue paper and bags from my stash. I also typed up the full recipe for the recipient's future along with the abridged version of the recipe for the jars. 

I cut the recipes to size and punched a hole on the top. 

I also upcycled the bow and elastic from the original jar to attach the recipe card. 

Finally I took the full recipe and a little festive ribbon, rolled the recipe and tied it with the ribbon. 

 After placing them in bags with the tissue paper and a gift tag I think this is a fun inexpensive gift for any family or friend.

Until next time
