Christmas Mason Jar Desserts: M&M Christmas Cookies. Free printable recipe attachment!
This week, I’ll be sharing a new Christmas Mason Jar dessert everyday (4 in total). These gifts are so fun to make and even better to receive! It’s so helpful to have a dessert pretty much ready to go during the busy holiday season. And the end result of these mason jar treats are some of the best desserts ever! 🙂
Above this text is a quick video overview showing the assembly of the mason jar desserts and also the final treat the mason jar will make. Below are the tools I use to make the mason jar desserts.
For these mason jar desserts, I use:
- Mason Jars (Set of 12)
- Wide Mouth Funnel (Makes assembly a million times easier!)
- Red Holiday Ribbon (The exact one I use pictured below was purchased from Hobby Lobby)
- Miniature Clothespins
- Mini Wire Kitchen Whisks (Set of 12)
- FREE Printable Recipe Attachment

Mason Jar Christmas Cookies {Free Printables}
Ingredients
- 1 and 3/4 cups white all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup holiday M&Ms
- 3/4 cups milk chocolate chips
ADD IN LATER
- 3/4 cup (1 and 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tablespoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- IN THE MASON JAR: combine the flour, baking soda and salt in the bottom of a 1-quart mason jar. Tap the jar several times firmly to get the flour mixture in one layer. Press it down as much as possible. Next, add in the brown sugar and pack down as much as possible. Next, add in the white sugar and again pack that down. Add in the M&Ms and chocolate chips. Press down firmly. Seal the mason jar, add a ribbon with a miniature whisk (if desired), and attach the free printable recipe attachment (or the following directions)
- RECIPE TO ATTACH: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Beat butter, egg and vanilla extract in large mixing bowl until blended. Add mason jar mix and mix well. Drop by rounded tablespoon onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Cool on the baking sheets for 2 minutes before removing to a cooling rack.

Hi!
Can you tell me if the flour should be sifted first and then measured or should the flour be packed out or just measure with a cup?
No need to sift!
The Xmas m&m mason jar recipe how many cookies does it make? And is there a way to print that somewhere on the recipe cards?
Thanks!
They make 24 cookies! And click the print here button under the recipe card to get the full-free printable recipe! 🙂
These are always a hit during the holidays. I thought I would make them as parting gifts for my birthday party. I would like to find some labels with the recipe that are not Christmas themed. Any advise? Colors are purple, lavender, white and/or gold. thank you
I have a few more like these for different holidays but I don’t have any for birthdays! I’m sure you could find some on Etsy! 🙂
Hi, can you use margarine in place of sugar for any of the recipes?
No, that won’t work, sorry!
these are all really good recipes.
AMAZING Cookies! Loved the recipe cards & jars turned out great!
I am so happy to hear! Thanks Nina! 🙂
Great idea!
Thanks! 🙂
How on Earth can I get this to print in color? Is there a color purchase option for the printable? My printer is is working just fine too as I printed a test page in color.
Are you clicking the download link? I haven’t heard of anyone having problems printing this in color! You could also try a different browser?
What would be the Australian version to this?
Thanks
I’m so excited about these, Chelsea! Thank you. I’m wondering…is it a “must” to use unsalted butter to make these? I never have that on hand…
Not a must! You’ll just want to adjust the amount of salt you add in (you might not want to add any at all!)
