Here's a cute, simple, easy to make, and frugal gift idea. I love any kind of gifts in a jar. They are cute and they are practical since your recipient can use what's in them!
Sugar Cookies Mix in a Jar
What you need:
- 1 c. sugar
- 2 1/2 c. flour
- 1/2 t. salt
- 1/2 t. baking soda
- jar
- ribbon
- cookie cutter
Mix up the flour, sugar, soda, and salt.
Funnel into jars. If you are wondering...my mix looks like that because of the turbinado sugar instead of white sugar:)
Attach a cute little card (I just printed that one up in a Word program with a cute font) The card should say:
Sugar Cookie Mix
Add:
- 1/2 c. butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 t. vanilla
- 1/2 c. sour cream
Roll out and bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes.
Attach a cookie cutter and the baking instructions with a pretty ribbon. That's it!

Great idea – how long will this last in the jar?
I’ve left them in there for several months with no issues. I would say at least a year.
What is the yeild with this recipe? How many and what size cookies does it make?
It really just depends on what size cookie cutter you use.
How many cookies does this make? How thick should the dough be once it’s rolled out?
It just depends on what cookie cutter you use. And the dough can be rolled as thick or as thin as you care to make it. Thicker cookies will be softer and thinner will be a little crunchy.
found this on Pinterest! (and repinned it!)
Thanks a bunch! Merry Christmas! Pat
Thank you, Merry Christmas to you too!
Hi Merissa, when you say 1/2t is that half teaspoon or tablespoon. I should probably know in relation to the other ingredient amounts but I don’t….lol. In Australia tbs or tbsp is tablespoon and tsp is teaspoon.
The lowercase t is for teaspoon
Thanks. I’m making a jar today for my sisters 10 year old foster child. She loves baking.
What a great idea for any age.
Thank you
