Mini “Gefilte Fish” Cookie Jar Favors

Cookies, gummy carrots, and a tiny glass jar come together to create the world’s least convincing, but certainly cutest, “gefilte fish.” One of the most peculiar things I’ve ever made, and one of my favorites.

Ingredients

  • Gummy carrots
  • Round shortbread cookies (or pecan puff cookies rolled in light brown sugar, or KFP cookies if needed)
  • Small glass jars, ideally 2–4 ounces
  • Label paper
  • Scissors
  • Alphabet letter stamps and ink
  • Metallic gold Sharpie

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cookies according to your chosen recipe—or pick up a batch from your favorite bakery.
  2. Layer the jars by alternating cookies and gummy carrots.
  3. Seal the jars, then make your labels. Stamp a punny message onto label paper, add decorative touches with a Sharpie, cut to size, and stick onto each jar.
