The Mason Jar Cookie Cookbook

This book is exactly what I was looking for. The recipes and suggestions are very well-explained and easy to follow. I especially like the pre-printed directions to copy. I can't wait to get started on some great Christmas gifts!

The Mason Jar Cookie Cookbook

This book is great! I have not found many quality cookbooks with cookie jar mixes. This has it all. I make these cookie mixes ahead of time and have an instant ready to give gift for any occassion. I recently gave one as a hostess gift. You can decorate the lid with any occasion fabric and complete it with a tie that coordinates. The easy to print page is copied on a photo copier and I reduced it to 75% to make the perfect gift tag that attaches to the jar. These gifts are fun to make with children as well as they make a great fundraiser for your school or church. I'm sure you won't be dissapointed with this cookbook.

The Mason Jar Cookie Cookbook

First, the cover of this cookbook caught my eye. I know you can't judge a book by its cover. However, this is an exception. The recipes and the lay out of them are wonderful and easy to use. It is simple to reduce and copy the recipes to attach to your gift jar. The steps are easy to follow in the layering process of a gift jar. Besides being a wonderful cookie cookbook, the jars are fun to make and great to give as gifts.
