DIY Gift in a Jar: White Chocolate Cranberry Walnut Cookies
Looking for a thoughtful DIY holiday craft to give your friends and acquaintances? Look no further! This DIY “Gift in a Jar,” contains the key ingredients needed to make some sensational White Chocolate Cranberry Walnut Cookies! Below, you’ll find our tutorial for putting the jars together, including a (free) printable gift tag to make it extra cute! This is one tasty gift that won’t break the bank but will be appreciated by all!
To start out, you’ll need 1 quart jars (one for each recipient). You’ll also need to assemble the following ingredients (exact amounts listed in attached recipe).
- flour
- baking soda
- salt
- old fashioned oats
- granulated sugar
- brown sugar
- white chocolate chips
- dried cranberries
- chopped walnuts
Once you have everything that you need all together, you can start assembling! If you have kids who love to help out in the kitchen, this is a great activity to involve them in! Since all of the jars need to be assembled in the same way (in a particular order) you could even use it as a way to teach them about assembly lines!
First, you want to whisk together the fine, dry ingredients in a bowl: the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
Then, take your jar and layer the ingredients in distinct layers, pressing each layer down after you add it. Start with the flour mixture, then a layer of oats, then a layer of (half) of the dried cranberries.
Note: TIP: A funnel is very helpful when adding the flour.
After this, add a layer of the brown sugar, then white sugar, then walnuts. Next, add the rest of the dried cranberries. Top with the white chocolate chips. Assembling each jar this way makes your gift look really pretty–like the present that it is!
Screw the lid on tightly. For the final touch, download and print out our free gift tags, which include the instructions that your recipient will need when he/she decides to make the cookies! Use a bit of ribbon or taffeta to attach the gift tags, and you have an adorable and thoughtful home-made gift to share!
