5 Practical & Fun Ways to Reuse Your Cookie Dough Jars

Made with durable, food-safe PET plastic and easy-to-peel labels

At Chocolate and the Chip, we love giving our jars a second life. Our cookie dough comes in PET plastic jars—lightweight, durable, food-safe, and recyclable. Plus, the labels peel off cleanly (no gooey mess!), making them perfect for repurposing once you’ve licked every last spoonful of dough.

Here are five creative and practical ways to reuse your empty cookie dough jars:

1. Create & Store Your Own Trail Mix

Skip the store-bought packaging and make your own custom trail mix for snacking or on-the-go. Use your clean jar to combine your favorite nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and chocolate chunks. It fits easily in a backpack or lunch bag, making it perfect for school, work, or road trips.

2. Overnight Oats or Chia Pudding

Turn your jar into the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast container. Layer in oats, chia seeds, oat milk, and fruit, then let it soak overnight. In the morning, you’ve got a satisfying, nutrient-packed breakfast waiting in a reusable, portable jar.

3. DIY Spice or Baking Mixes

Reuse your jars to store small-batch baking blends or spice mixes. Think cinnamon-sugar for French toast mornings, or your own blend of taco seasoning. They stack easily and keep your pantry organized and charming.

4. Desk Buddy for Office Supplies

Keep your workspace tidy by turning your jar into a cute container for pens, paperclips, or rubber bands. It’s a small and sustainable swap that keeps your desk organized with a touch of cookie dough nostalgia.

5. Mini Plant Pot for Herbs or Succulents

Give your empty jar a green makeover by repotting a succulent or starter herb plant inside. It’s a low-effort way to bring a little nature into your kitchen or windowsill—and a great excuse to buy more cookie dough.

By reusing your Chocolate and the Chip cookie dough jar, you’re giving it a second life while cutting down on waste. Tag us with your creative reuse ideas using #SecondLifeJar—we’d love to see how you upcycle!
