A fun young women’s activity and treat all in one! Scripture cookies in a jar. Search scripture verses to find the ingredients. Pack into a jar and send home with each girl to make for her family! Would make a fun family home activity as well.
Note: the scripture reference for oats comes from the Doctrine & Covenants. A book of scripture used by the LDS faith. If you are not of the LDS faith, you can use a scripture that refers to any sort of grain and have the kids use that for oats instead.
I brought both raisins and chocolate chips and let the girls decide which ones they wanted to use. (Mostly because I don’t like raisins in cookies and assume others might feel the same way!)

Miz Helen
thanks so much!
On your post you said to use 1 tsp of vanilla but on the paper it says 1/2 teaspoon. Which is the correct one? Thank you for this awesome idea! We are doing it tonight for mutual!
1/2 tsp. THANK YOU for letting me know! Changing it right now 🙂
What size jars did you use?
Hi Lindsay! We used pint-sized plastic containers (jars) from Oriental Trading.
Such a great idea! I can’t wait to try it! I have a question what did you use to replace calamus?
I don’t remember calamus being in the scriptures. Which one? These are the ingredients used in the jar. Hope that helps! flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, raisins, oats, white sugar and brown sugar, butter, egg.
I love this idea! I wanted to do this quart sized jars. Do you know the measurements that would fit for that? I was thinking of just doubling it…
Doubling it should work! 🙂
Thank you I’m gonna have my HIVE make these this week!
I would like to make these with my Miamaids, but would like to make sure I have the right sized jar. Do you by chance know how many oz there are in the bottles you used. I tried looking it up on Oriental trading, but could not find the bottles you used.
Hi Mikell! I used these pint sized plastic jars from Oriental Trading. I think there are 16 oz. to them. https://www.orientaltrading.com/pint-mason-jars-a2-13706298.fltr?keyword=jars
Should the butter be softened or melted?
Softened.
I can’t wait to do this with my beehives tonight! Do you use quick oats or regular? TIA!
Regular, but quick would work as well!
