I really wanted to share a couple of Christmas finds with you that I have recently come across and love. The first one being "Cookies in a jar". This great idea landed in my inbox via The Organised Housewife. If you have'nt visited Katrina's website make sure you do - it is crammed with Christmas things to organise, make, bake and do. She always has a load of great ideas for gifts like the "Cookies in a jar".
What do you think? I thought this would make a great teacher gift or something to have on standby as a last minute gift you can grab from your cupboard.
Cookies in a Jar
Place the ingredients in jar (1.5L) in the following order:
- 1 1/3 cup Plain Flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup christmas m&m’s
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup castor sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut
How to make
- Place lid on jar
- Decorate with ribbon
- Add label to front and back
This next one will be a holiday sanity saver I promise!

I just made double choc chip cookies in a jar for SUnny's teachers this year! The best idea ever! They turned out gorgeous! I'm still yet to share them though :)
