I love how easy it is to make a jar of cookie mix for a gift and this moose tracks cookie mix in a jar is a fantastic maple-flavored cookie that makes a great gift!

I am all about giving gifts, it's part of my love language. Frankly, I'd much rather give than receive and it's always been that way for me. But I don't like giving just something plain. I love giving experiences and activities.

So, making a cookie mix is the prefect kind of gift. Particularly if your recipient has kids. Then you're gifting an experience they can make together!

If you're ready to get making this fun holiday gift idea, let's get making!

Moose Tracks Cookie Mix in a Jar

If you're feeling curious, you can absolutely make these cookies for yourself. They're really yummy and I definitely think it's worth making a batch for yourself if you've already got the ingredients out.

So, if you do decide to make them, you can just place the ingredients into a bowl instead of a jar, then follow the directions on the printable gift tag to bake the cookies.

How to Make Moose Tracks Cookie Mix in a Jar

Make your jar first by trimming your napkin to fit nicely on the jar. I cut off 3 of the four sides, leaving just the clean moose.
Coat the jar with a layer of mod podge, then immediately place the prepared moose napkin on the surface of the jar. Take care to place it carefully because the napkin is thin and fragile--and will tear if you try to move it after the napkin comes in contact with the mod podge. One thing to note: I left the measurement marks on my mason jar visible on the back of my jar, because I thought it would be neat to see how much of each ingredient is in the jar. Allow this first layer of mod podge to dry completely.
Coat the napkin-covered jar with a second layer of mod podge, just to provide extra protection for the napkin. Allow this second layer of mod podge to dry completely.
Fill your jar with the cookie mix. I tried a couple of variations, but my preferred choice was to split the flour into 3 portions. Then I just added the darker ingredients between these 3 layers.
Once filled, place the lid on the jar and secure it tightly.
Cut your fabric to about a 5-inch by 5-inch square or a 6-inch diameter circle.
Print your recipe card on cardstock paper and cut to size.
Punch a hole in the top of the recipe card and thread the string or raffia to it.
Place the piece of fabric on top of the jar and secure it in place with the string or raffia and be prepared to gift!

And that's it! Isn't that fabulous?! A quick and easy gift idea you can make in minutes.
