Simple, handmade gifts that anyone can enjoy are my jam! How about you? I fell in love with the Ball® Sharing Jar this year for its unique design and the way it beautifully displays whatever is stored inside! I thought it would look adorable filled with a homemade cookie mix as a gift this year. I think I might just have to send one of these with Tad to school for his teacher! Cookies in a jar are an easy way to share the love of the season, especially as we are staying home much more than before. You’ve done most of the hard work for the gift receiver. All they have to do is add a few pre-measured wet ingredients, and they’re all set to bake a delicious batch of cookies! This is my personal chocolate chip cookie recipe, which turns out a moist and chewy cookie - my favorite!
ingredients & recipe:
MAKES ONE QUART JAR | ABOUT 1-2 DOZEN COOKIES
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Tag that reads: “Add 1/2 cup butter, 1 egg, and 1/2 tsp vanilla. Bake at 350 degrees F for 8-10 minutes. Cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before moving to a wire cooling rack.”
Aren’t they too cute? If you are looking for something short and sweet to throw together for someone this year, I highly suggest the cookie in a jar! Plus they look awfully sweet packed in the Ball® Sharing Jar, though any Ball® Canning quart jar would work! Happy gifting!

These are seriously the best soft and chewy snickerdoodle cookies!
