Tips for Mason Jar Gift Ideas
- Wide mouth mason jars work best, but regular mason jars work just as well. In fact, that's what I used!
- It helps to use a wide mouth funnel when filling mason jars.
- Pack in each layer well before adding the next ingredient.
- Always include instructions on how to bake the cookies. HINT: Use the printables I created in this post!
Printable Mason Jar Cookie Mix Labels
To help you give these mason jar git ideas with cookie mix recipes as gifts, I created a set of really cute printable labels for each cookie recipe. All you need to do is print them out, attach with a ribbon or baker's twine and give your gift!
There's even a cute "Merry Christmas from My Kitchen to You" label to use for the very top of each mason jar.
You can see that each printable tag is in the shape of a mason jar and the directions for actually making the cookies are included on each label. All the gift recipient needs to do is add butter, eggs and vanilla.
