Yum yum! I'm thinking I'll try those for myself!

Another jar idea that's nice is to buy yourself some of those canning
jars that look like they're quilted; the glass is made in such a way
that it sort of resembles the squares of a quilt. I've heard of some
people who can fruits and things decorating those jars with gingham or
something similar; that would probably also work for cookie-jar
gifting, too. Thank you for this awesome recipe!
