Sometimes you just want a single cookie, a special treat just for one. Using ingredients you already have, you can make this easy Sugar Cookie in a Jar recipe for yourself any time! Use your favorite sprinkles to dress it up (and think about the seasonal possibilities!) and grab a spoon!
If you like to get little ones in the kitchen, this would be a great recipe for them to try! They’ll love mixing their own dough together and seeing it go from dough to cookie. And of course, they’ll love to add their own sprinkles on top! These “jar gifts” are great for neighbors, coworkers, teachers, etc.
