Homemade Gifts In A Jar

Easy Homemade Thank You Gifts

Check your recipes, pretty much any recipe can be converted at home to a jar gift. They will keep for about a year as long as none of your ingredients have a use by date. However, sugar does tend to harden after a while.
Choose unusual shaped jars if possible. Look out for pretty fabric for the top and ribbon or yarn to match. If making cookies a nice idea would be to tie a cookie cutter to the jar also. Don't forget your baking instructions too!

Oatmeal Cookie Recipe - Homemade Jar Gifts Recipe

200 g sugar
pinch of salt
80 g chopped almonds
90 g oats
80 g flour
1 tsp baking powder

Seal the jar, decorate and include baking instructions. You can either hand write them on a pretty card or type and print them off as a label and secure to the side of the jar. Recipe Instructions:

Will make 60 oatmeal cookies

Cream 125 g of soft butter and 1 egg together until creamy.

Add the dry ingredients from your jar and mix well.

Using the help of 2 teaspoons take small heaps of the oatmeal cookie mixture and place on a lined baking tray. Make sure that you leave enough space between each cookie as they will spread.

Bake the cookies in a preheated oven at 190 degrees C for about 15 minutes until golden brown.

Remove carefully (they may break up while still hot) from the baking tray and leave to cool.
Have fun making homemade gifts in a jar.
