Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Mix - Gift In A Jar

Tweet

I have made many gift baskets over the last few years. They are always well recieved. There are many ways to make them but my favorite is a theme basket. I have added several discussions on gifts in a jar and other mixes on mylot. This recipe is great in a cookie theme. You can pack a few cookie gifts in a jar onto a cookie sheet with a dish towel to raise the top portion off the cookie sheet. Add a cute cookie Cuter and cover with cello wrap. It is beautiful. You can add tissue paper or fancy dish towels to make it attractive. You are only limited by your imagination.
