M&M Cookies in a Jar #SundaySupper

Thanksgiving is 1.5 weeks away and Christmas is right around the corner so the #SundaySupper team and I are bringing you holiday gifts from the kitchen. And what better way to say “Happy Holidays” than with a mason jar filled with all the ingredients to make homemade m&m cookies?

It takes just 10 minutes to make, they’re completely customizable and best of all, they’re so inexpensive! If you bake on a regular basis, you’ll have all the ingredients on hand. The only thing I had to buy was the seasonal m&m’s but feel free to use whatever type of candy or chocolate chips that you already have. I just wanted to go the more festive route which is why I chose the green and red m&m’s.

Then when you’re all done, tie a bow with a holiday tag and you are set. Now how easy was that? Plus, I’m sure the recipient of these jars will be thrilled about this gift. After all, how can anyone have a problem with homemade cookies, especially when all the hard work is done for you?!
