This Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe and the tips for giving Gifts From the Kitchen are part of a syndicated EVITE® post sponsored by Crisco®.
The holidays are a perfect time to give gifts from the kitchen! Last year I made countless batches of cookies and bars for my husband to give to his clients and coworkers. This year, try making few treats for elderly neighbors, college students, and friends who don’t bake.
Here are a few tips for making pretty packages and a recipe for holiday cookies that are perfect for sharing.
- Use glass jars to show off the cookies!
- Put waxed or parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
- Add chalkboard sticker labels to the jars.
- Finish with a piece of twine and a label.
These peanut butter cookies would be a great gift from the kitchen. They are sturdy enough to package, everyone loves them and the sprinkles are an easy way to add a festive look without the need for frosting.
