M&M Cookies in a Jar
Into a quart mason jar, add the following ingredients and pack between each layer.
1 cup M&M candies
2 cups flour
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1 1/4 cup sugar
When ready to bake this is what you do:
1 jar M&M cookie mix
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 t vanilla
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a large bowl, cream the butter, eggs and vanilla. Add the cookie mix and stir until the mixture is well blended. Drop by rounded tablespoons full onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
Jennifer – all your cookies in the jar recipes make me so hungry! I am going to try some of them for Christmas baskets this year. I can’t wait!
I give them to my kids and grandkids too. They love them. I also make them up for me to put on the shelf for when I want to have something sweet but do not have a lot of time. Thanks Julie! I hope you love them as much as we do!
