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
(Makes assembly a million times easier!)

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,these are fab! Do you have any other downloadable cards that aren’t Christmas themed Please?
For specific mason jar recipes, I don’t; sorry! I do have other printables for different holidays though (Halloween and Valentine’s Day)
LOVE this! This would be perfect to gift my son’s kindergarten teacher and his great grandparents!

Thank you Brittany! 🙂
Hello. Is there any way to edit the cookie printable? I’m only making the m&m cookie and would want to print all of them. Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!
*wouldn’t
Hey Ana, I’m not quite sure what you’re asking; the printables are all individual so if you’re only using one that’s all that’s on the printable. Hope that helps!
Hi Chelsea ☺ How do I print the recipe’s ?
There is a link that says “DOWNLOAD FREE M&M CHRISTMAS COOKIES PRINTABLE HERE” click that, save them to your desktop, and you can print. Enjoy!
Thank you so much! Cookies taste good and my jar came out looking great!
So happy to hear that! Thanks for the comment Valerie 🙂
I LOVE the cards you have the recipes on! Is there any way you can print my triple chocolate chip recipe on one of your cards for me to print out?
Thank you so much Abigail! I wish I could, but unfortunately I didn’t design these cards; I purchased them! Wish I could put it in there for you! 🙁
Such a lovely idea! I love it! ❤️
Thanks Anna! 🙂
Where did you find the lights to hold the sprinkles? Thanks!
Amazon! I link to them in the sugar cookie post 🙂 Happy Holidays!
Beautiful, how long can I keep the cookies?
Thank you!
Hi Nadia! The baked cookies are best within 2-3 days and the mason jars should last up to 6 months if they are stored in a cool dark area (and fresh ingredients were used). Enjoy!
I’m so in love with this idea! How could a gift get any cuter and it’s just so well presented too! Thanks for the video!
Thanks Tori! 🙂
The recipe is for each individual jar? What size jar?
I link to the jars I use at the top of this post if you want to take a look 🙂 They are 32 ounce jars.
How could I condense the sugar cookie or m&m cookie recipe to fit in a 16 oz jar?
