How to Make Sugar Cookies in a Jar

This recipe is designed to fit in a 1 quart, wide mouth, mason jar. The mixture is not layered but combined in a bowl first then put in the jars completely ready to go. You can top off the jars with some sprinkles or your other favorite sugar cookie decoration; this adds a fun pop of color.

Then you simply print and attach the directions, a ribbon and a cute cookie cutter if you’d like. You’re going to look like a crafty genius – no one will know how easy this cookie in a jar recipe really is!

Tips for Great Sugar Cookies

  1. Make sure to chill your dough for at least an hour or they’ll be too soft work with. This is especially important if you want to use cookie cutters.
  2. Don’t OVER mix your cookie dough. Use a mixer at a low speed until the dry ingredients are fully incorporated. Overworked dough will make for tough, dry cookies.
  3. Flour your surface! Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat with a few tablespoons of flour on top. As you roll out your dough the flour will keep it from sticking.
  4. Roll out your dough in small batches instead of all at once.
  5. After you put your cut cookies on the baking sheet, use a pastry brush to wipe away excess flour.
  6. Pro tip: Bake on parchment paper or the silicon baking sheet for easy peasy cookie removal.
  7. Don’t OVER BAKE. If your sugar cookies get a darl brown edge they are over cooked. It is better to slightly under-bake because the cookies will continue to “cook” a bit even after you take them out of the oven.
  8. Invest in a good cooling rack!

Vintage Pecan Bar Recipe

by Leave a Comment

This vintage pecan bar recipe has been around as long as I can remember. I’ve seen it called Southern Pecan Bars too. But it is a twist on a classic pecan pie recipe and you’re going to love it.

This is a fantastic addition to your holiday menus; great for Thanksgiving or Christmas! I love having classic recipes at every holiday and this pecan bar recipe fits the bill.

Retro Pecan Bar Recipe Dessert

Is it just like pecan pie?

The bars have a similar taste but the texture is very different; pecan pie bars! I actually prefer pecan bars over the pie.

Are pecans good for you?

Pecans are a great source of fiber, are rich with antioxidants and contain monounsaturated fats. So they definitely have some health benefits. BUT I would not call this a healthy recipe…

Can I make this chocolate pecan bars?

Yes! Add 1 cup of bitter or semi-sweet chocolate chips to the filling before you pour it over the crust. BOOM! You have a whole new pecan bar recipe to use!

Can I use a pre-made pie crust?

Sure! But this pecan bar recipe has a 3 ingredient crust that is simple and easy to make.

What size pan do I need for this pecan bar recipe?

I recommend a 9 x 13 pan for the best results. You can use a glass casserole dish or a metal baking dish. Personally I prefer the metal baking pan but they’ll both work.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Scone Recipe

by Leave a Comment

Dark chocolate raspberry scones, doesn’t that just make your mouth water? I predict that this scone recipe is going to quickly become your favorite! There is something about the rich dark chocolate that plays perfectly off the sweet/tart of a raspberry that just makes it the perfect combination for scones.

Delicious and easy to make chocolate raspberry scone recipe. Perfect for brunch, breakfast or tea time!

It feels wrong to talk about a delicious scone recipe without talking about my favorite Netflix show The Great British Bake Off!

Have you seen this? The show challenges 12 – 13 of the best amateur bakers to do a series of themed bakes each week…the worst of the bunch is sent packing at the end of each show. This happens until only the 3 best bakers remain for the final showdown.

My daughter and I love this show, not only for the baking but the wonderful British terms and accents. You can read more about my love of all things British in one of my earliest posts to the blog: My TV Jumped the Pond for Tea and Biscuits!

What is a scone?

Scones are traditionally considered a British baked good. They are very similar to the US biscuit with a few distinct differences. Scones, for one, have eggs in them, biscuits to not. Scones can come in both sweet and savory varieties with different additives like berries, chocolates or meats and vegetables.

You can see my favorite drop biscuit recipe here!

Are scones hard to make?

Well I don’t think they are hard but they do take some work, as any homemade baking does. I don’t knead my biscuits but you’ll need to do a bit of kneading for the scone recipe to come out right.

But air on the side of caution because too much kneading will make for a tough finished scone. I’ll say I think the dark chocolate raspberry scone recipe is pretty easy to make.

What are scones commonly made from?

Most scone recipes are made from a wheat flour, a leavening agent like baking powder and eggs. There are variations with the dairy components and of course the fillings (though some are plain).

What is the correct shape for a scone?

The traditional shape for a scone is triangular but I have seen them shaped circular, more like a biscuit. For a traditional scone, this can be accomplished in a few different ways. I think my recipe offers the easiest scone recipe shaping! But if you have tips on shaping scones, feel free to leave that in the comments.

How to Serve Scones

Traditionally scones are served with clotted cream and jam. They would often be eaten at afternoon tea but you can eat them for breakfast, brunch, with coffee or even as a dessert!

You can make your own clotted cream with a recipe like this or purchase it in jars.

Printable recipe with pictures below.

Dark Chocolate Raspberry Scone Recipe

Equipment for Dark Chocolate Raspberry Scone Recipe

Preheat first!

  • Preheat oven to 425

Ingredients for Dark Chocolate Raspberry Scone Recipe

  • 4 Cups flour
  • 1/3 Cup white sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons baking powder
  • 1 Teaspoon salt
  • 1 Stick (1/2 cup) butter
  • 1 1/2 Cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 Teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 Dark chocolate bar, chopped
  • 1 Cup fresh or frozen raspberries

Directions for Dark Chocolate Raspberry Scone Recipe

  • Combine dry ingredients in medium bowl. Cut in butter until chunks are pea sized.
  • In a separate bowl combine sour cream or yogurt, egg, lemon juice and vanilla.
  • Combine wet and dry ingredients. Gently knead in dark chocolate and raspberries.
  • Do not over knead or scones will be tough.
  • Divide dough in two. On greased cookie sheet or cast iron pan, pat into two circles about eight inches in diameter.
  • Use knife to cut into eight equal pieces.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes. Bottom of scones should be golden brown.
  • Serve with traditional clotted cream or whipped cream and jam.
  • Makes 16 scones.

You can certainly play with the ingredients a bit. If you prefer milk chocolate, you can replace the dark chocolate easily. Not a fan of raspberries? Try blueberry scones or even chopped strawberries. Want a tarter version? How about some dried cranberries?

Once you have the basic recipe down you really can play with the flavors!
