Cookies in A Mason Jar Recipe

Give the gift of cookie mix in a Mason jar. The festive decorations can be added to make a wonderful Christmas gift that is enjoyed by all. We added a Christmas recipe card and a cookie cutter decorated with holiday paper. The cookie cutter can be added without the paper and is a great usable gift, too.
