What Is Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix In A Jar

Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix in a Jar is a homemade mason jar gift, or storage solution that’s been around for quite some time. It’s a cute, festive, thoughtful homemade gift that one person can give to family or friends.

Typically, it’s a Mason Jar filled with premeasured, layered (sometimes not layered) dry ingredients to make delish Chocolate Chip Cookies. We like using wide mouthed jars.

Then all the recipient has to do is add the “wet ingredients”, like butter, egg and vanilla into a small or large mixing bowl to make the chocolate chip cookie dough and bake them for the best chocolate chip cookies.

It’s super easy to make as a gift for any upcoming holiday season. Once you assemble the layers in the jar, you can add the instructions via a sticker, homemade tag or handwritten note and then add a bow, ribbon or twine and finish it with a Made With Love Sticker for the lid and you’re ready to give the gift away!

Homemade Cookies Recipe Variations

• You can use mini chocolate chips if you prefer for this Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Jar Recipe.
• Replace chocolate chips – You can also swap the chips for semi-sweet chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips or white chocolate chips in your jar of cookie mix.
• Add nuts or oatmeal– if cookies with nuts are your thing, feel free to add a layer of your favorites like macadamia nuts, walnuts, pecans, or oats to make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies. If adding oats, we recommend Old Fashioned Rolled Oats.
• M& M Add-ins: other fun add ins are M&M’s especially the Red & Green ones if making a homemade Edible Christmas Gift with this cookie mix. You’ll love these festive m&m cookies.

Helpful Tips & Tricks

• Use the back of a large spoon to help back your flour, brown sugar and other layers down to make sure everything fits easily in the jar to create adorable layers of your dry cookie mix ingredients.
• If you’re having trouble filling your layers to the top of your jars, you can use cotton balls in the layers to help fill them out.
• You can use a funnel or a rolled up paper plate to act as a funnel to help you add your dry ingredients to your jar.
• If you see your ingredients are starting to mix, stop pouring them in and use a spoon to carefully place them in for each layer.
• If your mix doesn’t quite reach the top, you can use decorative ribbon to add to the lid and ring of the jar to dress it up and it will cover the top part of the jar anyway.
• Don’t forget to include instructions on how to make the chocolate chip cookies with the dry ingredients and the measurements of the wet ingredients needed as well. You can do this by downloading and using our printable recipe card or printable tag below.

How Many Cookies Can You Make From Jar Mixes?

This ALLLLLL depends on what size cookies you like to make. But, here are GENERAL numbers:

• 32 oz jar: makes around 16 cookies
• 16 oz jar: makes around 8 cookies
• 8 oz jar: makes around 4 cookies

Remember this is all relative to how big or small you make your cookies. Should you like bigger cookies, you may get less from one jar, smaller or mini chocolate chip cookies, you may end up with a few more cookies per jar.

How Long Are Chocolate Chip Cookies In A Jar Good For?

Safely, you can keep these cookie mixes stored in a jar for around 6 months.

If you are adding other ingredients to the mixes in a jar, like nuts, they’re only good for about 3 months. Make sure to let your gift recipient know (this can be included on your gift tag or recipe card)

Can You Substitute Stevia For Sugar?

If you’re looking for a slightly healthier cookie and want to use Stevia instead, make sure to follow the package instructions on how much to use to replace the sugars in this recipe.

We have not tried this in our test kitchen, so we can not attest to the flavor or consistency of this, but we wanted to share this information as we have been asked this question quite a bit.

How Do You Store Chocolate Chip Cookies In A Jar?

Obviously, leave your mix recipe in the Mason Jar.

Store it in a dry, dark, and cool place for optimum storage length. It will last up to 6 months.

Hard Brown Sugar- How to Fix It?

Ahhhhh! Has your brown sugar turned hard, clumpy and difficult to get out? No worries, just toss a chunk of white bread in the jar with the rest of the mix-ins the night before you wish to use the Jar Chocolate Chip Cookies and it’ll soften right up overnight.

Be sure to remove the bread from your mixture before using the cookie mix.

If you fear your brown sugar will harden, but it hasn’t yet, you can add a piece of white bread or a marshmallow to it while it’s in storage. Be sure to remove before making the cookies.
