Homemade cookies are one of the classic components of celebrating the holidays. From marathon baking sessions with the family to enjoying the spoils of your hard work, fresh-baked cookies are something that everyone loves.

These cookie kits also make great gifts for someone who loves baking, but is pressed for time, because each pre-measured jar provides everything needed to bake a batch of cookies except for a few common ingredients that everyone should have in their homes.
