Country Oatmeal Cookie in a Jar image

My boyfriend and I made 2 dozen of these jars as Christmas gifts this year, and they were a big hit. You can substitute raisins for chocolate chips, but the chocolate makes for a nice change.

Time 30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup packed brown sugar
1 cup rolled oats
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Using a 1 quart or 1 liter jar, layer in the ingredients in the order given. Pack down the jar after each addition. Put the lid on, and cover with an 8 inch circle of fabric. Secure the fabric over the lid using a rubber band, then cover the rubber band by tying a nice piece of ribbon or raffia around the lid. Attach a tag to the ribbon with the following instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a medium bowl, cream together 3/4 cup of softened butter, with 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Add the entire contents of the jar, and mix by hand until combined. Drop dough by heaping spoonfuls onto an unprepared cookie sheet. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven.

I'm not a big fan of cookies in a jar. I prefer traditional cookies that are made on a baking sheet.

I'm a vegan, so I made these cookies with almond milk and dairy-free chocolate chips. They turned out great.

These cookies are a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. I always have a batch of oatmeal on hand, so I can make these cookies at a moment's notice.

I'm not a big oatmeal fan, but these cookies were still really good. The oats are not too overpowering and the cookies have a nice balance of sweetness and texture.

My family loved these cookies! The oats give them a great texture and the chocolate chips make them extra special.

These oatmeal cookies are a bit on the sweet side for me, but I can easily reduce the sugar next time.

I love the portability of these cookies in a jar. I took them camping with me and they were a great snack on the trail.

These oatmeal cookies in a jar are a fun and easy treat to make. I love that I can mix all the ingredients in one bowl and layer them in a jar. The cookies came out perfectly soft and chewy.
