Get ready for holiday gift-giving this season with homemade mason jar cookie mix! Gluten free cookie mix in a jar is a great gift to give to teachers, friends, and neighbors. Just because someone is gluten free doesn't mean they can't enjoy making homemade cookies! This easy recipe makes the best gluten free chocolate chip cookies!

The holidays are in full swing and we are in a baking frenzy here in the Fearless Dining household. This year we are putting the control into our friends' hands by allowing them to have special baking moments with their families. You may ask how we are going to do this...homemade mason jar cookie mix gifts! 

My daughter had the idea to put together one of our favorite cookie mixes into mason jars to give as gifts this year. The jars are easy to make and they look so pretty with all of the ingredients layered in the mason jars. You can find all of your ingredients, including our favorite cookie salt, Morton Fine Sea Salt, at your local Safeway.

You can use my popular Gluten Free Cowboy Cookies recipe included here or any number of the gluten free cookie recipes on Fearless Dining to fill your mason jars.

Morton Fine Sea Salt dissolves quickly and blends the flavor thoroughly so you get the perfect bite every time. It has an easy lid that allows me to measure, shake, and pour without any oops moments. (Trust me, with the kids we have had those oops moments so we LOVE Morton Fine Sea Salt lids!!)

If you haven't been to Safeway this week, it is the best place to find all of your grocery shopping list items. They even have a handy app so you can get coupons and see what is on sale.

Are you ready to make these mason jar gifts? I love the flavor mix of cowboy cookies...the whole oats, shredded coconut, pecans, and chocolate chips. (Not to mention the ingredients make such pretty layers in the mason jar!)

Instructions:

Add the gluten free flour blend to the bottom of the mason jars. I add flour first so it doesn't run down through the layers. One of the things that make these cookie mix jars so attractive is the "layered" look. You want to vary your colorful layers with the white layers.

I have tested two gluten free flour blends in this recipe. I liked King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure and Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend. This doesn't mean other blends won't work, I just haven't tested any others. Try to avoid flour blends that are high in starch.

As always, if your blend does not contain Xanthan Gum, you will need to add 1 teaspoon.

Add the brown sugar and use a spoon to push the layers down.

Pour 1/4 teaspoon of Morton Sea Salt into the mason jar.

Keep layering your ingredients including baking powder, chocolate chips, and gluten free oats. Pack each layer down as you go.

Pour in the last layer, unsweetened shredded coconut. Now you just have to fill out a recipe card with the instructions and attach it to the mason jar.

What size mason jars are best for gift jars?

I used quart-sized mason jars to make these cookie mix gift jars.

How long does the cookie mix in a jar last?

If you keep the mason jars sealed, the cookie mix should last 4-6 weeks in your pantry.

What ingredients can I add?

The sky is the limit on what ingredients you can add. Add chocolate candies, different types of nuts, or anything you like!
