As we head into the holiday season, it is fun to have some homemade gifts to give teachers, postal carriers, neighbors and more. Edible gifts are the best kind.
We have been enjoying making a whole collection of mixes in jars. There are soups, muffins, hot chocolate and more.
When I think of jar mixes, I think of cookies though. So we need to get a few more cookie recipes in the mix.
Growing up, I always love it when there were white chocolate macadamia nut cookies on a cookie tray. I love the creamy white chips mixed with the yummy macadamia nuts.

Carlee’s Tips
- You can rough chop the macadamia nuts a bit before putting them in the jar. This helps to more evenly distribute them in the cookies and helps everything to fit in the jar a little bit better.
- Feel free to use chocolate chips instead of white chips if you want to. White are classic, but any chocolate would be delicious.
- If you don’t have a canning funnel to help get the ingredients in the jar, you can roll up a piece of paper to make a cone.
- You will want to pack down the layers a bit as you go to help everything to fit in the jar.
