Notes
Baking cookies in mason jar lid:
use 2 tablespoons cookie dough for "regular" jar lids and 3 tablespoons for "wide mouth" lids. Place the rubber gasket ring down into the upside down lid (in the opposite position you'd use in canning) you can use a baking spray to prep the lids for easy removal. The cookies will be able to be crisp on top, and the side edges will be chewy, makes for a great thick, deep dish style cookie.
