Mason jar Christmas gifts are irresistible. However, during the busy holiday season it can be difficult to find the time to experiment with mix recipes or create mason jar labels. I’ve done all of the work for you.
The Lid
Gather these supplies: green felt, red felt, mason jars (quart-sized) , twine, craft glue, red buttons, scissors, and a pen.
Trace the mason jar lid onto felt and cut it out. Personally, I think that the red felt looks cuter than a lid label and it adds some texture.
Cut two holly leaves out of the green felt and adhere them to the red felt. Also glue on three red buttons to resemble berries. Cute!
The Mix
Using the recipe below, sift together the dry ingredients for your mix. The labels will give full recipe instructions for your recipient.
Sugar Cookie Dry Ingredients Recipe
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup white sugar
I like to add sprinkles to the very top of the mix. It’s easy to scoop these out upon opening the jar and they add a perfect pop of holiday color to the gorgeous white mix.
The Label
Merry Christmas Sugar! These labels are so sweet. I’ve created separate printables, one for the front of the label and one for the back. Print both labels, cut them out, and then glue them to each other, back to back. Punch a hole into the completed label and hang it with twine around the base of the lid.
Here’s the front of the label.

Here’s the back of the label. It gives precise instructions for baking sugar cookies with this mix.

This is a Christmas gift that won’t be forgotten. People appreciate a handmade touch, especially in the hustle and bustle of life these days. Maybe you’ll get lucky, and they’ll invite you over when they bake the sugar cookies. Can’t you just smell them baking?
