There’s not much better than Christmas cookies right?! (Big cookie fans here.) Maybe, just maybe, you can make them even better by packaging them up cute and taking them to a friend and this is a super fun way to do it. Make a cookie container from a Pringles can. It’s easy, it’s creative, it looks amazing and it’s a perfect fit for cookies! Your friends and neighbors will love this!
How perfect and pretty does that look? And won’t they be surprised when they open it up and there’s cookies inside!?
And you can make this in any style you want! The first one was pretty and elegant, here’s one that’s cute and sparkly.
You could easily make a bunch of these for the holidays and take them to all of your friends and neighbors.
Or here’s a fun twist-use our Christmas Muddy Buddies recipes and fill it with those. Get those recipes here.

This is soooo lovely! I kept my Pringle cans the other day because I wanted to do something special with it. Now, I know what! Thanks for sharing this easy idea.
Couldn’t you also use duct tape sheets?
Sure!
I am thinking about using contact paper. Duck Tape sheets are a great idea. Thanks for sharing.
SMART!
I love this! It looks like it’s simple enough to put together that I can do it without ending up with a pinterest fail! I’m totally using this idea for neighbor gifts this year! Thank you!
Love to hear that! 🙂
Thank You..Thank You….Thank You!!!
I have been wondering how to package my dried apples…..perfect!!
Supper idea.
I’ll be giving cookies this year to my neighbors for Xmas great
idea.
What do you do to get rid of the smell of chips from these containers?
You know, we found that it didn’t affect it much. We wiped out the cans with a cloth and then they seemed fine. Even tested out leaving a treat in a pickle flavored one for a while and then eating it and it was fine-no pickle flavor!
I love this idea! I’m saving cans all year to make teacher gifts next Christmas for the school in a low income area that my office supports. I’m planning on manicure supplies, nail polish, and several other goodies. Thanks for a great idea!
Oh that will be really fun!
What size cookie cutter would you use? As cookies spread whilst baking. I was thinking of obviously using a smaller size cutter than that of the container. Thanks in advance. From the UK.
Ya, you need them pretty small! We didn’t do cookie cutter cookies, but the kind you make balls and then they spread. But make them smaller than normal.
