I like to buy a case of wide-mouth Mason jars and make a dozen jars of homemade cookie mix at a time.

These DIY cookie mix jars are super easy to make and are always well received. I mean, what gift recipient wouldn’t want to get a jar of cookie mix?
Let’s look at how to make them.
Items Needed
- 1 Wide Mouth Quart Mason Jar
- 1 7×7-inch Cloth Square
- 1 20-inch String/Twine/Leather Strip/Ribbon, etc.
- Recipe Tags
- Hole Punch
- Paper Towel
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- Ā½ teaspoon baking soda
- Ā½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Ā½ cup macadamia nuts
How To Make Cookie Jars
Layer Ingredients: Begin with 2 cups of flour, adding baking soda and baking powder. Pack it tight. Clean the edges for a neat presentation.
Sweet Additions: Add a cup of sugar and gently pack it down.
Next, add white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts.
Seal the Jar and Decorate: Center a cloth square on top, securing it with a tie. Attach a hole-punched recipe tag with a string. Trim the string for a neat finish.
Tips
- Be careful while patting down the flour. It will want to poof up if you go too fast and it makes a mess.
- Itās best to put the hole in the recipe cards in the upper left corner. This will allow the card to hang properly.
- You may need to make some slight adjustments after you get everything tied on. Itās about impossible to get it perfect while tying it on.
- The only jar size that works for these gifts is a wide-mouth quart jar. Do not use a regular mouth jar or a pint-size jar.
- You can make your material squares a little smaller if desired. However, 7 inches works the best.

Cookie Directions
White Chocolate Macadamia Cookie Mix
Equipment
- Parchment paper
- Baking Sheet
- 1-Inch Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- 1 jar White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie Mix
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup butter at room temperature (2 sticks)
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside.
- In a large bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, cream butter, eggs, and vanilla at medium speed.
- Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Fold in the white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts until thoroughly combined.
- Using a cookie scoop drop the cookie dough onto the prepared cookie sheet, leaving about an inch in between each cookie.
- Bake cookies for about 9-11 minutes or until they start to become golden brown. Remove them from the oven and allow them to rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If the dough begins to warm up, you will want to chill it a bit before cooking. If not, the dough will spread out resulting in thinner cookies that are crunchy. If you like this style, no need to chill.
- Check the cookies after about 5 minutes, just because each oven is different. For example.
- If you want bigger cookies, use a larger scoop. You just wonāt make as many as the recipe suggests and you may need to cook them a couple minutes longer.
