Gourmet Cookie Mix in a Jar

These are mixes similar to the mixes you would buy in a store.These gifts are not baked in the jars. These mixes are unique because they are layered in the jars and are quite decorative once they have been completed. You can decorate them as recipes suggest, or use your imagination. Please remember that the ingredients have been measured to fit exactly into quart sized jars, so please do not vary the measurements. This is NOT sealed in a jar, so liquids and/or perishables are not included. On the directions card, be sure to include any ingredients the receiver will need to provide.
