As gifts for their parents or loved ones, students created "cookies in a jar."  With the ingredients and mason jars provided, students followed a recipe that helped them create a "ready to go" mix for 4 batches of holiday cookies.  Students added each ingredient one at a time so that the ingredients created a neat layered look in the jar.  Festive fabric and a personalized gift tag were added to the top of the jar before students took the gifts home to bestow upon a lucky recipient.

After filling their jars with the correct ingredients, students decorated red paper bags and put the jars inside the bags.
