Scripture Cookies In a Jar

Filed Under: Cookies, Desserts, Gift Ideas, Teacher Gifts

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.

I work with the 12 and 13 year old teenage girls in our church’s youth group. The girls are so sweet and adorable at that age! We meet on Tuesday nights for youth group activities. I needed to come up with an activity the week that we were moving out of our house. I decided to use up some pantry ingredients at the same time and voila! Scripture Cookies in a Jar. A spiritual activity and practical one all in one. I had everything I needed already!

I made a printable worksheet that you can use too. Just click here to print! Search the scripture references for the key ingredients. ANSWERS: flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda, raisins, oats, white sugar and brown sugar, butter, egg.

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!)

The activity was a success and each girl went home with a worksheet that they had filled out together and a jar of cookie ingredients.

When they got home all they had to do was add an egg, 1/3 c. butter, and 1/2 tsp. of vanilla to their mixture.

I had a bunch of plastic pint sized jars leftover from a project so I customized my recipe to fit inside of them. Each jar will make approximately 15-18 cookies. And the cookies are REALLY GOOD. Double the batch and make them on your own sometime. So delicious! I had an extra jar and put it in our RV and made them for our family when we were in Oregon. You can see my easy bake sized oven that I’m using for baking in my RV this summer here in this photo, ha! It works pretty good though!

Looking at the measurements of ingredients, it’s hard to imagine that they’ll all fit inside, but they do. Just pack down the sugar and oats and everything will fit just right!

Scripture cookies in a jar would make a fun family home evening activity as well. Just skip the jar part and place you ingredients into a bowl!

    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!

    Such a great idea! I can’t wait to try it! I have a question what did you use to replace calamus?

      November 2, 2018 at 3:22 pm

      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…

    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

    I love this idea. I have it all printed and ready to go for my activity day girls tonight but just realized that there is a spelling mistake on the printout 🙁 It says ‘amooth’ Hopefully no one will notice.
    Thank you for this great idea!

      Oh no! I just saw this and it’s too late for you now, but I did fix the type-o! This post is 2 years old and has been used dozens of times and nobody else caught it. Thank you for letting me know! I am so sorry!
