I like to buy a case of wide-mouth Mason jars and make a dozen jars of homemade cookie mix at a time. The jars are great holiday gifts for teachers, Sunday school classes, Christmas parties, drop-in guests, Dirty Santa parties, etc. Of course, you can make them any time of year – use the scrap fabric of your choice to match the season or occasion.
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?

White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Cookie Mix In a Jar
Equipment
- 1 7×7-inch Cloth Square
- 1 20-inch String/Twine/Leather Strip/Ribbon, etc.
- Hole Punch
- Paper Towel
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup macadamia nuts
Instructions
- Place the flour in the jar and add the baking soda and baking powder on top. Pack it nice and tight.
- For extra neat layers, use a paper towel to clean the inside of the jar and the edges.
- Add the sugar on top and pack it in tight.
- Add the white chocolate chips and gently pack them in, followed by the nuts.
- Place the fabric centered on top of the jar and use the tie of choice to secure it in place. (To make things easier, place the jar rim over the fabric to secure it all in place.)
- Use pieces of string to attach a recipe card. Snip the excess string after that to make it look nice and neat.
Notes
- Be careful while patting down the flour. It will want to poof up if you go too fast and it makes a mess.
- It’s 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. It’s 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 best.
