I didn't do the jars...I went straight to baking the cookies. I didn't use the chocolate bar either. I used chopped pecans for the nuts. This made a delicious cookie.

They were great! I'll probably make them again next year.

A+ I took the easy route, did not blend the oatmeal, nor did I add the chocolate bar. I added 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips instead of the chocolate bar. Which meant, that it was layered like this: flour mixture, oats, white sugar, brown sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips, then the milk chocolate chips. Fit perfectly in the mason jar. Then using pinking shears, I cut a circle about the size of a tea saucer out of pretty fabric, laid it over the insert lid, added the jar band, and finally tied a recipe card through a ribbon and attached over the jar lid and was done. Great gift. Pretty. Tasty. Thanks.

All I have to say is 'YUM' ,'DELICIOUS' and 'AMAZING'!!!

Brilliant idea. Have made several jars of Spiced Oatmeal Raisin and now moving on to Choc Chip. Only thing I don't understand is the whole cup thing. Have now converted the recipe into grams - it's so much quicker to weigh everything straight into the jars (and less mess too!). Don't you have kitchen scales in the USA? Tip: A jam funnel makes filling the jars very easy.

My children and I tried this recipe before making the jars. The cookies were delicious! We didn't even bother putting the oats in the blender and switched the choc. bar for 1/2 c milk choc. chips. Much easier.

This is, hands-down, the best oameal cookie recipe that we have ever made. We came across it while looking for a cookie in a jar recipe. It takes a little extra work...but well worth it!

I love this recipe, and everyone that I give this as a gift loves it also. I have made these as gifts for the last 3 years. And again this year.

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!
- A Baker
It's a great recipe. It's easy and fun to make. Around the holidays, it's a great time to take the kids and make this wonderful recipe. Thanks!
