I made pretty cowboy cookie mixes in a jar as prizes for the baby shower and they were a big hit, so I thought I’d share what I learned.
\n
Step 1: Print the recipe from allrecipes.com<\/a> and buy all the ingredients.
\ntip: Smooth glass jars are more attractive than regular canning ones if you can find them.
\ntip 2: Colored sugar kicks it up a notch and lets you color coordinate with your theme more easily than M&M’s.

\n
Step 2: Buy coordinating fabric and 3\/8″ grosgrain ribbon. As of right now, Chevron prints are IN. I like to share these bits of info. on the rare occasions that I am in the loop.
\ntip: Get Fray Stop for the edges of the fabric and ribbon.
\ntip 2: Use a compass to trace a circle in pencil on the back side of the fabric so you can cut out a perfect circle.
\n
Step 3: Pack the ingredients in the jar in this order: flour, oatmeal, brown sugar, white sugar, colored sugar, chocolate chips, nuts (optional)
\ntip: Use the back side of an ice cream scooper to pack down the jar so things don’t shift around. I spent more time than I am prepared to admit figuring out what I could use to really pack these down. Yes, I went out and tried to buy a pestle.

\n
Step 4: Print out the recipe and label from bakerella.com<\/a>.
\ntip: you can stick this to the jar with ribbon tape (like you would use to stick ribbons on handmade cards), but regular double-stick tape doesn’t work.
\ntip 2: If your color scheme includes black or gray, you can just print the labels in black and white and you’re good to go.
