Smart Little Cookie

One sweet way to say thank you to your teacher. 

Jar and "cookie" points included.

Super Simple Steps:
1. Buy a medium-size jar. (I found these at Walmart)
2. Bake a couple dozen chocolate chip cookies {see my coveted recipe below}.
3. Using a coffee filter as the insert, stack a dozen cookies in the jar.
4. If you have a vinyl cutting machine, cut out the teachers name and apply it to the cookie jar.
5. Tie on the tag. {see below for printable}.
