Cookies-in-a-Jar Party Favors

by The TomKat Studio

Jars filled with ingredients for oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a sweet, simple favor for your guests to take home. Assemble the jars ahead of time and use them as decorative elements at the party, or set up a station that allows older kids to fill their own jars. They'll be excited to bake the cookies at home!
