Are you looking for a cute, last minute gift idea that can be whipped together in just a few minutes?
The clock is ticking down to Christmas, so I am going to squeeze in one last post for all you procrastinators out there. This post will show you how to make a quick and fun gift that would be great for anyone on your list – especially anyone that loves to bake!
Although these cookie recipes in a jar have been around for years, I have never actually assembled one until now. The process is super easy and the Domino Sugar site has the recipes, method and gift tags with the instructions all ready for you with the click of your mouse.
Let’s get started!
