As a mom with 2 kids in University, I make my kids recipes in a jar to take back with them to school. Today I made the "Old Fashion Sugar Cookie Recipe". I usually give them a $15 gift card for the closest grocery store to them so they can get the eggs or milk or whatever they need to compliment the recipe. Follow me to read about how to make this handmade heart felt gift for just about anyone.
3 cups Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Baking soda
1/8th tsp of Salt
1 1/2 cups Sugar
Then grab a tag and write the rest of the instructions on the tag as I did.
Empty the contents of the jar into a large bowl. Cut in 1 cup of softened butter until the mixture is crumbly. In a separate bowl, beat 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract until light and fluffy. Pour into the dry ingredients and mix until well blended. Cover bowl and chill for 1 hour.
Then go crazy dress up the Jar. This one is for my son and he likes and plays the fiddle so I found a Christmas ornament of a fiddle.
Don't forget to attach the tag with the instructions.
These are fun and easy and take no time to make. Give it a go. We are mostly homesteaders so there is usually no shortage of Mason Jars laying around. Next I will post a Soup recipe in a jar.
Happy Christmas Trails
