Christmas is right around the corner but there is still time to create the most bake-tastic homemade Christmas gift, Christmas M&M's Cookies in a Jar.
I decided to whip these up for family and friends this year and it's been wildly successful. They've been embraced with joy and merriment and the receivers haven't even eaten them yet.
Christmas M&M's Cookies in a Jar is a GREAT gift for you to give because it's easy-peasy to make and it's fun too. You could even get the kiddos involved in putting this homemade gift together. How great is that?
Another AWESOME fact, this mason jar Christmas gift is beyond easy for the receiver to make. They simply dump the entire contents of the mason jar into a bowl, add the three wet ingredients, mix, and bake.
They could even leave out the vanilla extract if they are non-bakers. Everyone has butter and eggs, right?
Lastly, and this is arguably the BEST feature of this mason jar cookies gift, they are SCRUMPTIOUS!!
Seriously, they are really good M&M's Cookies. I was a little surprised considering it's a cookie that gets dumped into a bowl. It really doesn't get any easier than that when baking from scratch. The cookie dough doesn't even need to be refrigerated.
Oh, and a little candy cane in the stocking, I've got a Christmas M&M's Cookies in a Jar Printable for YOU!! A little tip, it works best to print this printable tag on cardstock.
Christmas M&M's Cookies in a Jar, a delightful homemade Christmas gift that is AMAZING to give and WONDERFUL to receive!
