This book is great! I have not found many quality cookbooks with
cookie jar mixes. This has it all. I make these cookie mixes ahead of time and have an instant ready to give gift for any occassion. I recently gave one as a hostess gift. You can decorate the lid with any occasion fabric and complete it with a tie that coordinates. The easy to print page is copied on a photo copier and I reduced it to 75% to make the perfect gift tag that attaches to the jar. These gifts are fun to make with children as well as they make a great fundraiser for your school or church. I'm sure you won't be dissapointed with this cookbook.

I bought this book to use as door prizes at a wedding shower. I found the directions easy to follow. I am definately using the book again to make gifts to give. I received positive feedback from the shower, and several people asked for the recipes of the cookies so they could make them again. I highly recommend this book.

First, the cover of this cookbook caught my eye. I know you can't judge a book by its cover. However, this is an exception. The recipes and the lay out of them are wonderful and easy to use. It is simple to reduce and copy the recipes to attach to your gift jar. The steps are easy to follow in the layering process of a gift jar. Besides being a wonderful cookie cookbook, the jars are fun to make and great to give as gifts.

Cudos, Lonnette!!

Very unique cookbook with easy to follow recipes. I gave these as gifts and everyone loved them! The Best Ever Chocolate Chip cookies are to die for!

I bought this book before Christmas so I could give jar recipes to everyone in our very large extended family. They loved the cookies! I loved them so much I bought an extra set of jars so I could have several varieties on hand in our pantry for when the kids want cookies. Okay, for when I want cookies. The recipes in this book are very easy, fun to make, and surprisingly delicious!

This book is exactly what I was looking for. The recipes and suggestions are very well-explained and easy to follow. I especially like the pre-printed directions to copy. I can't wait to get started on some great Christmas gifts!

I didn't want to give these as gifts before trying out the recipes. The first one I tried made cookies that were about as dry and as hard as rocks. The second recipe made cookies that came out like pancakes that I had to scrape off the pan and throw out. I wasn't interested in wasting more time on any others. I modified one of my own favorite recipes to fit in a jar.

I have been using this book for several years and absolutely love to make gifts for my friends using the book. The recipes are easy. The book describes how things are to be stacked in the jar to look their prettiest, and the instructions are very easy to follow. My friends love the gifts. I have used the prepared jars for my own "quick" cookies and the cookies are delicious! I highly recommend the book.

I'm not sure if these recipes were actually made by the author. Some don't fit into the jar, and some don't make sense. The magic bars recipe tells you to put all the dry ingredients into the jar. . . o.k., the graham cracker crumbs go in first (on the bottom). The cooking directions tell you to mix the graham cracker crumbs with butter and make a crust on the bottom of the pan, then pour the rest of the jarred ingredients over it. . . how exactly do you do that.
My daughter is making lots of jars from this book - but we have yet to cook one - I'm a little afraid of what's going to happen.
Also, some of the recipes are just the same recipe with a different name and the ingredients in a different order. . .
