Mason Jar Goody Bags

We are making mason jar cookies as Carter’s “goody bag” for his first birthday next week. I have had the ingredients sitting on my table for a few days now and last night while daddy was entertaining the boy, I broke out my measuring cups and funnel and made the first one. I was disappointed to find that the only ingredient to flow through the funnel was the white sugar so the rest I ended up having to dump in and made a bit of a mess! It took a while to get the jar filled because you have to pack down all of the ingredients but I was pretty pleased with how it looked. With a few tweaks to the label we’ll be all set to mass produce! After all was said and done Linc convinced me that we had to try out the recipe to make sure it worked…hahaha I will say they were quite tasty but a bit too sweet for my taste! I might need to tweak the recipe a bit before I fill all 48!

For this recipe we are making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies so I needed:

• Oats
• Flour
• White Sugar
• Brown Sugar
• Chocolate Chips
• Baking Soda
• Ground Cinnamon
• Salt

Because these are for Carter’s party I will also attach the custom recipe card I made which explains what wet ingredients you need and how to finish making the cookies as well as two cookie cutters! I am making thank you labels for the lid and a surprise message for the inside of the lid but haven’t had a chance to print them out yet. I think party guests will be very happy with the end result!

After all of that hard work it took about two seconds to dump the contents of the jar into the bowl with our wet ingredients and stir it all about. Linc and I shaped the cookies into hearts before baking just for fun- if you plan on making these keep in mind they do not hold their shape once in the oven! The cookies turned out to be very delicious and I can’t wait to pass these fun and unique “goody bags” out at C’s party!
