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!)

October 4, 2017 at 7:52 amOn 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!

November 2, 2018 at 10:26 amSuch a great idea! I can’t wait to try it! I have a question what did you use to replace calamus?
Brandy says
November 2, 2018 at 3:22 pmI 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.

November 12, 2018 at 10:59 amI 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…
Brandy says
November 12, 2018 at 2:27 pmDoubling it should work! 🙂

March 28, 2019 at 1:31 pmI 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.
Brandy says
March 28, 2019 at 2:35 pmHi 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

April 3, 2019 at 6:52 pmI 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!
Brandy says
April 4, 2019 at 11:39 amOh 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!
