#27 Neighbor Christmas Gift Idea – Cookies in a Can

#27 Neighbor Christmas Gift Idea – Cookies in a Can. As a mother of twin babies, I sure do have a lot of these around my house….
Clean and Cover your formula cans with Festive Scrapbook paper or wrapping paper. Grab your favorite Cookie Recipe and start baking with your family. {Why does this picture melt my heart?}
Oh, you want my favorite Christmas cookie recipe? Sure! Here is a little bit of “Melt in your Mouth” Chocolatey HEAVEN. 
Fill your Christmas Cookie Cans {to the brim please!}
And deliver to smiling neighbors and friends.
Cookies in a can could be so much more fun than cookies on a paper plate! Start saving your cans for this adorable idea. -If you don’t have babies around the house, I am sure you know someone who does! Ask to have their empty cans. If you’d like a free can of Enfamil Formula Click Here and print.
Here’s to recycling! 
{I so think this counts, right?}
updates and free printables delivered straight to your inbox!
I am totally making these this year! I too have lots of those little formula cans lying around!
LOVE IT!!!!
Love the can idea and I can’t wait to try those cookies!
If you know someone who drinks coffee, those cans would work too!
What a great idea! We don’t use formula, but I can see using the 28 oz. tomato cans for when I bring homemade candy to neighbors!
Great idea…send us a link when you do it and we’ll post it!
Very cute idea!!
Great idea! Totally doing this one. Thank you.
Love this idea!!!
what a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the great gift ideas! You guys are doing great!
Super fun idea! After 15 years of living in the same place I find it harder and harder to come up with new neighbor gift ideas. Thanks girls!
PLEASE post this to my Monday party Its So Very Creative or my Wed party-Celebrate the Holidays
I love it.

We’re using coffee cans that I found on freecycle to use for “gifts in a can”
I really like these I will definitely be making these!
Oh, these are cute. Nice idea!. But if there are no Babies in your home…Folger’s coffee site, has about the same idea. You can print a colored label to fix the larger can or print one out for your children to color themsleves. I found that last year and am sure they are there again this year. check it out…thanks for sharing
Hi,
I have just published a post featuring these. They are such a good idea.
I have linked back to the post from http://thatcutelittlecake.blogspot.com/2010/08/christmas-in-july-find-recycled.html
I knew there was a use for all of those formula cans! Totally using this idea for christmas this year! LOVE IT!!!!
I’m going to do this with mixed nut cans.
so the link for the cookie recipe isn’t working and those look oh so delish!! is there another way i could get the recipe? thank you!! love this idea- so cute!
This is my favorite neighbor gift! I go through a couple of these formula cans a week! Definitely using this idea! Thanks!
I love to give cookies with the recipe printed on a photo of their house decorated for Christmas…try not to get caught snapping the shot though!
Got to have my new mom friends save their formula cans for me:)
