Rather than slaving away in the kitchen to bake holiday treats, why not gift your loved ones the ingredients to make their own goodies? A Mason jar is the perfect container for home-made cookie, cake or brownie mix, and your friends can repurpose the jars in their own kitchens! There are lots of recipes that would work for this project- we've chosen a delicious Cinnamon-Nut Coffee Cake recipe here.
