I am so happy to have Denise here today posting these super simple (the best kind of recipe) treats and the jars are just adorable. These would be great to gift or for yourself…you know if you want to limit yourself to one serving….but who does that?!

Hello! This is Denise, from Where is June?, and I am so happy to help Brenda enjoy a few extra cuddles with her sweet new baby girl! I don’t know about you, but I fall victim to anything sweet. I love desserts that look amazing, taste delicious, but are are simple and easy to make. Cookies in a Jar, simply a chocolate chip cookie baked in a jar and served ooey and gooey, are perfect in any season. However, they are particularly awesome this time of year. There is nothing better than a little something sweet after a delicious fall meal. Plan to serve them with a big Sunday dinner or make them mid-week for a special treat!
Here is a quick break down:
1. Start with your favorite chocolate chip recipe. In a pinch, I use the Betty Crocker Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix. {Trust me! No one will know it is a mix.}
2. Fill 4oz jelly jars approximately 1/2 full with prepared cookie dough. You don’t need to grease the jars. Just spoon in the dough. 
3. Place jars on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. You want the just the edges to be golden brown. Don’t over bake! The centers will collapse a bit as the cookies cool. Don’t worry! This creates a perfect spot for that scoop of ice cream! 
If you plan to bake and eat them right way, give the jars 20-30 minutes to cool down. You don’t want to try to hold the jar when they are hot! A scoop of salted caramel gelato puts these babies over the top, but vanilla works too. These are also great to bake ahead of time. Just remember to microwave them for a 10-15 seconds before eating. It is just too sad not to eat them warm!
