Cookie Jar Recipe
Makes a great gift!
------
Materials Needed:
quart size canning jars with lids
fabric, 10 inches by 10 inches should be sufficient for each jar
ribbon
pinking shears or scissors
Hot glue gun (I use the low temperature glue gun), and low temp. glue sticks
(TIP: You can also use tacky glue, a craft glue you can find in the craft section of any large department store)
handful of polyfill (for padding top of jar lid...in a pinch use cotton balls stretched out evenly over lid center piece)
Paper
wide clear tape (the kind for shipping packages is good!)
Recipe and ingredients for recipe
Directions:
Thoroughly wash and dry the jar and lid. Find your favorite cookie recipe and gather your ingredients. Fill the jar in layers with dry ingredients of recipe.
On paper, type or hand print recipe for cookies. Adhere recipe to jar with the wide clear tape. The wide clear tape is great for protecting the paper from getting smudged and smeared. Glue a little polyfill to the center round of the jar lid and cover polyfill with fabric which has been cut into a circle measured to fit top of canning jar.(TIP: Trace around the top of jar and then add about an inch diameter all around if you are padding lid with polyfill). The fabric should fit over the the center part of the lid and hang down around the top outside of the canning jar.
Screw the lid on over the fabric covered lid with remaining fabric hanging down. Tie ribbon around the top outside of jar just around the lid for decoration. If you'd like, dab spots of tacky glue around the lid to secure the ribbon to outside rim of lid. Add a little note that says: "Something sweet for a sweet friend". This is a nice homemade gift that any cookie lover will appreciate.
