These M&M cookies in a jar were super easy, quick and it looked so festive. Plus when we mixed up the cookies, they were ridiculously delicious.
supplies you need for m&m cookies in a jar:
- 1 8-ounce mason jar
- 3 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
- 10 Tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- About 40 M&M’s® Red Velvet
- A small bag for the M&M’s®
- Paper or cardstock
- Hole Punch
- Ribbon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Beat together 2 Tablespoons butter and 2 Tablespoons shortening.
Pour the flour mixture at the top of the jar into a bowl and set aside.
Add the sugars to the butter mixture and beat until smooth. Add 1 egg and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla.
Add the flour mixture and beat just until combined.
Scoop into balls on a cookie sheet and press 4-5 M&M’s® Red Velvet over the top of each ball.
Bake for 10-11 minutes or until the edges are set.
Put the M&M’s® Red Velvet in the little bag and then punch a hole through both the recipe card and the bag and string the ribbon through them both.
Tie the ribbon around the jar and take it to some lucky friends!

Such a cute idea! Obviously, Valentine's Day will be very exciting at your house this year!
very cute idea for valentine's day & i especially like the "eat it later" part!
Ever since reading this post this morning I've been dying to get my hands on some red velvet m&ms, but our grocery store didn't have any!! Grrr
That is a cute idea. The Valentine's thing occurred to me now that my child is getting older- not that I have to do anything yet but it is nearing. Gifts are really so not my thing- my laziness really kicks in at Christmas and now I'm like oh great- eventually I have to start making valentines for all of my children's friends, mercy. I'm so lame.
Can I just say that the last picture of Ella is gorgeous? What a stunning, smart little girl you have.
This is such a fun and cute idea! I always love getting cookie mixes in jars as gifts!

This is incredibly cute! I love the Valentine's Day twist to it!
I bought some of these M&M's with the idea in mind that we would try these cookies, they didn't make it into the cookies. I dare say these are better than regular M&M's.
What a fun idea for a Valentine's treat for good friends. And you're right, they look delicious. #client
