I'm looking to make cookie in a jar for some people for Christmas gifts.

Any one have any tried and true hints or recipes?

Shelly, I don't have any recipes for you, but if you're looking for special jars to put them in, and depending on quantity you're going to make, you may want to check out this company
SKS Bottle & Packaging, Glass Jars, Glass Jars, Clear Glass Hexagon Jars w/ Black Metal Lug Caps

I order bottles and containers from them and they are reasonable and give good service.

Just a thought :)

Brownie Mix in a Jar

Original recipe yield: 2 dozen.

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 1/4 cups white sugar
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Mix together flour, baking powder, and salt in a quart jar. Layer remaining ingredients in the order listed. Press each layer firmly in place before adding the next layer. NOTE: Be sure to wipe out the inside of the jar with a dry paper towel after adding the cocoa powder, so the other layers will show through the glass.

Attach a tag with the following instructions: Brownie Mix in a Jar 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13inch baking pan. 2. Empty jar of brownie mix into a large mixing bowl, and stir to blend. Mix in 3/4 cup melted butter and 4 eggs. Mix thoroughly. Spread batter evenly into prepared baking pan. 3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes in preheated oven. Cool completely in pan before cutting into 2 inch squares.
