**DAY 350 CHALLENGE**
Today, I challenge everyone to make a Cookie in a Jar and give it to the mail person, garbage man, bank clerks, etc. Show them how much you appreciate all they do!! We attached a 365 Days of Kindness Card (YOU CAN PRINT THE CARDS BY CLICKING HERE).
It was super easy and so much fun to do with the kids. and giving to our mail lady and some other people in our community to show our appreciation for them. We made both the gingerbread cookies and the M&M cookie jars. I will attach both recipes and a PDF printable that you can attach to both items. We got the Gingerbread Cutout at Joann’s Fabric for ONLY $0.99!! I also used a piping bag as a funnel to pour the ingredients into the jar!
Here are the directions for the Gingerbread Cookie in a Jar
