For a festive touch, use colorful sprinkles or ribbon to decorate the jar. Store the assembled jars in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat and sunlight, to prevent clumping. Consider including a small bag of chocolate chips to add to the mix for an extra-special treat. Ensure butter is softened, not melted, to achieve the best cookie texture.
