Christmas Cookies in a Mason Jar

I had to come up with a few quick gifts for Christmas and with all the cookies being gifted this time of year, this seems like a super cute gift to DIY.

Here is where the great recipe came from, the Kansas City Star.

I bought the spatula from A.C. Moore and cut a scrap of fabric and ran it under the serger to clean the edges. Added grosgrain ribbon to top it off. I printed out the recipe from the site and cut it out using my scalloped scissors. Easy Peasy!

Let me know if you try it and how yours turned out.

Merry Christmas & I hope to have more posts more frequently.

Bringing baked goods to the gym… bad idea? Not for someone’s birthday!!!

I workout with a great lady on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s and as luck would have it, she was away on her birthday. I still wanted to give her a card the next time I saw her, but I also wanted to test drive this cute recipe I saw on Facebook. Betty Crocker has the cutest twist on regular old birthday cake, birthday cake cookies!

They took almost no time to bake. Just a box of yellow cake mix, butter, egg, milk, confetti sprinkles, icing and polka dot nonpareils. They bake in 10 minutes and once cool, a spoon of icing between 2 ‘cookies’ with a sprinkle of polka dot nonpareils around the sides, VOILA!
