The cookbook is a special combination edition of two books by Texas author Lia Wilson: Gifts for the Cookie Jar and Cookie Dough Secrets, plus a bonus section called The Cookie Cutter Cookbook.

Gifts for the Cookie Jar contains 25 recipes for layered “ingredients in a jar,” plus pre-printed gift tags and baking instructions. Ideas for decorating finished jars are also included.

Unique cookie recipes like Butter Pecan Delights, Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookies, Butterscotch Snaps and Deluxe Oatmeal Cookies are a departure from traditional layered gift mixes and are ideal for teachers and co-workers, friends and neighbors, bake sales and school fairs.

Cookie Dough Secrets is a freezer-friendly basic cookie dough with 70 variations for unusual cookies like White Chocolate Cherry Rounds, Peppermint Candy Cane Cookies, Pecan Whirls, Orange Mocha Drops, Chocolate Mint Thins and more.

The Cookie Cutter Cookbook contains 20 kitchen-tested cutout cookie recipes, plus quick tips and decorating ideas.

Recipes in Cookie Jar Magic call for everyday ingredients and are designed for busy cooks who still want to preserve a little homemade goodness during the holiday season.
