How to Personalize a Cookie Jar with the Silhouette Cameo & a TruMoo Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of TruMoo Milk. All opinions are 100% mine.

You can’t tell from these photos but I’ll go on and admit it, that cup of milk used to be full to the brim.  It looked so good and smelled so good, I thought I’d just take a sip.  With all my sips, it’s a wonder this photo even happened.  I’m drinking TruMoo’s Limited Edition Chocolate Marshmallow and I love it!  Previously, I wasn’t even a chocolate milk drinker but I like this milk…a lot.  Enough to make one of my favorite cookies with it!  Let’s talk more about that!

These cookies are delicious, moist and make your kitchen smell fantastic.  You’ll be proud to serve them.

I added 1/4 cup of TruMoo Chocolate Marshmallow milk to the batter and it helped give a light touch of chocolate that’s perfect in these cookies.  I’m using a 1-1/2 tablespoon scoop to portion out the cookies.  I used to just plop them down by hand but I have to say, I like this way better.  It gives a nice uniform result.

These were so delicious that I wanted a cute cookie jar to keep them in.  I bought a set of plain white jars and decided to make them super cute by adding my own labels.  It was fun!

How to Personalize a Cookie Jar

Printing and cutting labels with the Silhouette Cameo is fun and easy!  First, I created the lettering in the Silhouette software using fonts from my own computer.  The cookie definition is straight from the Webster dictionary but I made the milk definition up myself!

I purchased white cookie jars and the Silhouette clear sticker paper to use in my Cameo.

First, I designed the label in my Silhouette software, including adding cut lines around the stickers.  Next, I printed it out on the sticker paper.  Print it shiny side up!  Add the printed sticker sheet to a mat and insert it into the Cameo.  Set the Cameo to cut the lines you created around your label.  (Here’s how to print and cut with the Cameo.)

Here’s a tip:  To create your own labels you don’t even need a Silhouette.  You can just buy the Silhouette Clear Sticker Paper, design a label on your computer, print it out using your printer and cut it out by hand.  Done!

After the Silhouette has finished cutting the labels, peel them off of the backing and stick them to your cookie jar or glass.  Easy!

I love the way the milk mug turned out!  Do you like the definition I came up with?  Hee hee hee.

I love the way that adding these labels really made these more personalized for my kitchen and even for gift giving!

I hope you’ll try these delicious cookies and let me know what you think about them.  I think you’re going to love them!
