You never know how things are going to taste until you try them – am I right?! I always see all these pretty little jar gifts at farm stand stores & wonder…hmmm…what will it taste like?! I’ve never really actually bought one – I’m semi skeptical unless I’ve tried it before – but hey you never really know until you do. And really, what makes these cookies in a jar any different than the mixes you get on the grocery store shelves…probably nothing…if anything they are probably better & not loaded with tons of GMO’s.
Well, no worries with this recipe! These Chocolate Cherry Drop Cookies are one of four desserts I made at Thanksgiving & they were given a huge thumbs up! I thought Thanksgiving was the perfect time to test out as many recipes as possible – because why not – I had a troop of taste testers at my fingertips & you better believe I was going to take advantage of those tasters :) And I did!! Plus – I had a super fun & homemade gift for the hostess too! Bam & Bam!
So, I have for you a yummy recipe, these Chocolate Cherry Drop Cookies, and a way to turn that recipe into a simple gift (with free printable below) too!
This fun-to-make cookie jar gift of Chocolate Cherry Drop Cookies will get you in the DIY holiday gift-giving mood.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine flour, baking powder and salt into a small bowl; mix well & set aside.
- Starting in this order; Layer the oats, cherries, white chocolate chips, brown sugar, cocoa, sugar and finally the flour mixture, into a one quart jar with a tight-fitting lid (it will be a tight fit, so be sure to pack the ingredients down firmly after adding each layer, I used a large spoon).
- Seal the jar tightly, attach decorative accents & recipe.
- Store in a cool, dry place.
Notes
For baking instructions, see the attached printable tag.
And here are the supplies you’ll need to create this one-of-a-kind gift!
