Easy baking storage using large mason jars!
Since we’re getting into the Christmas baking season, I decided to switch up my spice shelf!
I usually put my baking supplies in the cabinet above my shelf, since I don’t use them very much, & put my spices front & center because I use them a lot when cooking. When Christmas rolls around, there’s a ton of cookie baking going on, so I wanted to bring my baking stuff front & center!
Plus…I like the way the mason jars look on the shelf! Also, there’s a ton of wasted space on the shelf when my spices are there, so it kind of turns into a catch-all for random kitchen junk & ends up looking so cluttered! I feel like the mason jars fit the space better & it might make this space clutter free!
These are just simple 64oz mason jars that I randomly found on sale at Ace Hardware a few years ago when we first moved into our house. I put black stickers on the top & wrote what was in the jar with a silver Sharpie so there wouldn’t be any confusion! I can usually tell what’s in there by looking, but it would be disastrous to mess things up!
I religiously put my baking supplies into the jars for a long time but then I got lazy & that cabinet above the shelf turned into a nightmare! Because I plan on cookie baking soon, I decided to clean out the cabinet & put my baking supplies back in their jars. Now I have an organized baking situation & I love it!
So what am I baking this Christmas? Here’s a quick rundown of the things I want to make:
- Peanut Butter Blossoms: These are my go to cheat peanut butter cookie recipe! With only 3 ingredients, they’re so easy to make! I made these last year for my husband’s work Christmas party & everyone loved them!
- Snowball Cookies: These are one of my favorite holiday cookies! With simple ingredients, these are easy to whip together!
- Gingerbread Cookies: I’ve never made gingerbread cookies before, but I really want to this year!
- Perfect Every Time Cut-Out Cookies: I’ve been wanting to make sugar cookies really bad this year & this recipe looks like a great place to start! I even went out & bought cute Christmas cookie cutters! Ugly sweater cookies for the win!
Aaand that’s about it! My mom always bakes a ton of cookies, so I know there will be plenty of cookies everywhere! I just like experimenting with different things & I think these cookies will be an easy start!
Now that my baking supplies are organized & within reach, Christmas baking should be a breeze!
