The Perfect Easter Gift
Anything that comes in an adorable mason jar is too cute to pass up. With Easter just around the corner, we are sure you'll be gearing up to celebrate it in a fun and creative way. Instead of typical chocolate eggs as gifts, why not take a new spin to things and create a stunning Easter cookie gift jar, perfect for young ones and adults.
What you need to fill the jars and bottles:
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 130g plain flour
- 65g brown sugar
- 100g plain flour
- 65g brown sugar
- 145g white sugar
- 180g M&Ms or Smarties
Additional Ingredients (Please note that the 3 ingredients below do not get added to the jar)
- 240g butter or margarine
- 1 beaten egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Method
- Layer the dry ingredients in a Kilner Square Clip top 1-litre jar, following the order above (starting with the salt, baking powder and flour). Press each layer down before adding the next. Seal the jar.
- Make a tag out of card and write on the following instructions:
- Combine the contents of the jar with 240g softened butter or margarine, 1 lightly beaten egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
- Mix well then roll into 12 balls of dough and place onto a baking tray before flattening slightly.
- Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180C for 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven, leave to cool on a wire rack and enjoy!
