Christmas Brownies Mason Jar Dessert
Growing up, my mom always made homemade gifts for neighbors and co-workers, a tradition I’ve tried to carry on.
I love brownies, and to me, there’s nothing better than a gift that’s both delicious and easy to enjoy during the busy holiday season.
Gifting someone a mason jar brownie mix they can whip up in minutes for a last-minute treat or holiday gathering is the perfect way to spread some Christmas cheer. So today, I’m sharing how to assemble a truly amazing (and foolproof) brownie gift!
Supplies You’ll Need:
- Mason Jars (Set of 12)
- Wide Mouth Funnel (Makes assembly so much easier!)
- Food Scale
- Red Holiday Ribbon (The exact one I use were purchased from Hobby Lobby)
- Miniature Clothespins
- Mini Wire Kitchen Whisks (Set of 12)
- FREE Printable Recipe Attachment
Ingredients In Christmas Brownies
- Sugar: Makes the brownies sweet and soft.
- Unsweetened Cocoa Powder: Sift it first to avoid lumps.
- All-Purpose Flour: Spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level it off so the brownies don’t turn out too dense.
- Baking Powder: Check the expiration date—old baking powder won’t work well.
- Salt: The salt brings out all the other flavors.
- Milk Chocolate Chips: Try dark or white chocolate chips for a fun twist.
Add Later:
- Unsalted Butter: Let it cool a bit before mixing so it doesn’t cook the eggs.
- Eggs: Room-temp eggs blend in better.
- Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla tastes best.
- Water: Warm water blends better than cold.

I was reading your recipe and wondered why no brown sugar was included for the chocolate chip cookies. The recipe I have used–passed down about 3 or maybe 4 generations–includes brown sugar. Does this have an impact on the final product? I’m hesitant to try making these. But, I must admit I’m extremely curious! I am leaving on an extended trip in the next few days so I’m not planning on baking. But, I should be ready when I get home again!! Thanks for sharing your recipes.
Hey Linda, what recipe are you talking about? This is for brownies!
I’m making an assortment of these for a friend who is not well, and wants to make cookies with her kids. I think she will like the ease and less mess to clean up. I appreciate the ease of printing these, both the recipe and the tags. Thank you!
You sound like an awesome friend! So happy you were able to use these! Thanks for your comment Kim! 🙂
