My boyfriend and didn't bother with the grating of chocolate, and then accidentally halved the amount of butter and doubled the amount of chocolate chips! They were the best cookies I had ever had!

I made these jar cookies to give as gifts last Christmas. The grindging/shaving/ of the chocolate bars and the oatmeal was such a pain! It took a week of soaking to get my blender clean. Gifts should not be so difficult!

I really disliked theese, but I fed them to my sister, so she didn't complain, so I guess it worked out good.

Delicious. Everyone I gave a jar to was thrilled. I used pint size canning jars, which meant I had to cut the recipe in half. Each jar makes 1 1/2 dozen.

It is nice and sweet. Anyway, I love oatmeal; that's why I chose Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Jar.
