Today was Caleb’s last day of kindergarten. He had a great year and loved every minute of it. Throughout the year Caleb enjoyed bringing his teacher goodies from our kitchen to so we thought we would bring Mrs. Jones one more treat to enjoy as she soaks up the sun this summer.
Sunshine Cookies
(Cookie Mix in a Jar)
1 1/3 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooking oats
1/2 cup m&ms
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
In a one quart jar, layer the ingredients in the order listed above.
Make sure to pack each layer down or it won’t all fit!
Pretty up your jar with a ribbon and a tag that includes the following directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Stir dry ingredients in a large bowl and add:
1/2 cup butter, almost melted
1 slightly beaten egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix to combine.
Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls.
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
The perfect gift to brighten someones day!

Sooooooo adorable! What a lucky teacher to have Caleb for a student and it looks like he felt quite lucky to have Mrs. Jones for his teacher. I love the endearing card he wrote for her , what a good boy he is!!
The jar is absolutely adorable, I love the ribbon and the sunshine on the jar. How did you paint the sunshine?
