Cookies in a Jar!

It's hard to believe that Christmas is right around the corner. This year my husband and I are expecting our first child. In preparation for said event, we have decided to start pinching pennies, including Christmas gifts. One of the best frugal x-mas gifts I've found are cookies in a jar. They're not only cheap, but fun and easy to make.
As I'm writing this post and thinking back to previous years, it seems this has become a family tradition. My husband and I head over to my mom's house, and make these little delights. We normally make about 12, 1 quart jars and split the end products. You can find the recipe we used for chocolate chip cookies here. I've also included the labels I made in photoshop in this post. Enjoy!

I made this poinsettia round label to be adhered to the top of the jar.
