Valentine’s Day is about sharing the love with those you care about most. These Valentine Cookies in a Jar are the perfect idea. You supply the dry ingredients stored in a jar all tied up with a darling recipe tag and the only thing your recipient has to do is add the liquid ingredients and a little extra love!

Hand write or type up the directions and the remaining ingredients needed on white paper. Cut into a heart shape and glue to the burlap heart. Wrap faux leather cording around the neck of your jar and using scissors, make a small hole in your burlap heart to tie onto the leather trim.
