Cookies for Santa Gift Set

Rumor has it that Santa loves cookies! I heard that if you leave yummy cookies and milk out for him, he'll leave even MORE gifts! I'm not sure if it's true or not but I want to be prepared... just in case 😊

I made these Cookies for Santa mason jars for all of my local friends with kiddos. Each set includes a personalized "Cookies fo Santa" plate, "Milk for Santa" mug and a mason jar filled with all the dry ingredients needed to make Christmas cookies... for Santa, of course. 
These are the perfect gifts for neighbors, teachers, friends and relatives! 

Materials

• Quart size mason jar
• Ribbon
• Decorative holiday greenery

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon of Flour 
• 1/2 teaspoon of Salt
• 3/4 teaspoon of Baking Soda
• 1/2 cup of Brown Sugar 
• 5 tablespoons White Sugar
• 1/2 cup od chocolate chips 
• 3/4 cup of Holiday M&Ms (More or less to fill remaining space in the jar)

Details...
​In a quart size mason jar, carefully pour in the flour. I used a ladle but using a funnel would be extremely helpful.
Gently tap the jar on the table to settle the flour. (Or tap against your hand) 
Add the baking soda and salt. 
Next, add the brown sugar. Use a spoon to press and smooth out evenly. 
Add the white sugar. Smooth out using a spoon. 
Layer the chocolate chips  on top of the sugar. 
Finish by adding holiday m&ms to fill the remaining space in the jar.
Tie on the ribbon and holiday greenery.... You’re done! 

Now lets chat about all this beautiful vinyl work! You can't see it but Im definitely patting myself on the back right now.
​I haven't used my Cricut Explore Air in over 2 1/2 years. Just a couple YouTube tutorials to refresh my memory and I was good to go! 9 sets designed, sized and cut an less in 30 minutes. (Yup, still patting) :)

I found these cute wire baskets in Joanns. 60% off + military discount... needless to say, I grabbed them all! 9 total. No shame here.

Those adorable little tags are free from @iheartnaptime. Yup, free!

Happy Holidays everyone!!!
