    Cranberry White Chocolate Mason Jar Cookie Kits are fun homemade gifts that beautifully display the dry ingredients of a tasty holiday cookie.

    Have you ever had someone give you a cookie kit before? Every year I tell myself to make a bunch of them to hand out to friends, co-workers, and teachers and I never have. That is, until this year. I finally put together some of my own homemade cookie kits and I was not only impressed with how easy they were to make, but they made a super tasty cookie as well!

    three jars of cranberry white chocolate mason jar cookie kits

    I couldn't just put a kit together without trying it out first, now could I? Okay, okay. The fact that I had a major cookie craving may have played into the fact that I made a batch as well. You caught me.

    When I was trying to think about the kind of cookie kit I wanted to make, I figured I had two options - chocolate candy pieces or dried fruit. I wanted something colorful that would look appropriate for the holidays. I ended up going with cranberry and white chocolate because the tart of the cranberries pairs so well with the sweet and creamy white chocolate, plus who doesn't love red and white at Christmas time? The mix also contains pecan pieces and rolled oats for texture, and the rest of the ingredients you'd expect in a cookie like sugar, flour, baking soda and salt.

    I picked up a few sparkly fabrics to decorate the lids only to realize they were tulle and rather transparent. Thanks to my quick thinking and lack of other craft materials in my house, I figured a brown coffee filter would do the trick between the metal lid and the tulle. It ended up looking super cute and only took a few minutes to make.

    These cookie kits are super easy to make, whether you're putting together one or twenty at a time. They're one of those homemade, inexpensive gifts that make for a really nice gesture. Who wouldn't want something like this where they only have to mix in three wet ingredients and 12 minutes later they have warm delicious cookies in front of them? I would... which is why I kept a couple kits for myself!

    This recipe uses pure vanilla extract. Did you know you can make your own homemade vanilla extract? It makes the perfect gift too. Watch how in the video below.
