Homemade Cookie Mix Jars (with Free Printable Label!)

Not too long ago, we posted a blog post called, "Halal and Fabulous: 8 Tips on Throwing a Stellar Party." In it, we shared easy, fun ideas to help you host an amazingly memorable get-together. We received great feedback on it and are happy to know Muslims like to party!
One of the ideas we shared was making homemade cookie mix jars - super fun as both party favors and gifts (originally inspired by one of our favorite food bloggers, Bakerella). Since so many of you loved the idea, we decided to give you detailed instructions on how to make them and on top of that, we're offering the cookie jar label as a free printable you can download.
