SUBMITTED BY:

PHOTO BY:

"Oatmeal Raisin Spice cookie mix in a jar with tag attached with directions on how to prepare the mix. These make wonderful gifts to give any time of year, and also for wedding favors, hostess gifts, baby showers, or take to a cookie exchange. Make sure to bake some up so people know what they taste like. Store in a cool dry place away from a heat source so condensation and clumping does not occur. Enjoy."

I tested this recipe to use for gifts and was so suprized! They are easy to make and SO tasty. Crispy outside, chewy inside. I used a regular cookie sheet, no parchment paper, and waited just a few minutes after removing from the oven to remove from the cookie sheet. It worked fine. I also made them with chocolate chips... mmmmnnn!!! They stayed moist for a couple of days and didn't dry out. Two thumbs up!!!!

Did this for a church bake & craft sale. Decorated the jar, put it on a tray and surrounded it with baked cookies. Followed the advice on order: 1)flour, 2)brown sugar, 3)white sugar, 4)oats, then 5)raisins. Looked terrific, tasted wonderful and sold very well! Thanks Lisa for another great looking and great tasting Cookie in a Jar Recipe! Tip: Don't buy the baking raisins that are "moisture rich" for the jar. They are great in the cookies, but look much to moist to be sealed in the jar.

I used 1/2 a banana plus 1/2 tsp baking powder instead of an egg and butter flavored shortening plus 4 1/2 tsp water instead of butter and they were absolutely fabulous. Banana adds a unique flavor that goes well with the ingredients. Got nothing but rave reviews and requests for more!

Fast and easy gift - and people have been raving. I made several jars and played with the order of the layers. I like it best with the oats on top so it's not such a vast expanse of oat color. Pack it well!

These cookies are great!! I gave this to several people, and EVERYONE loved it!! The only thing I did different was to put it in different order because I didn't want the flower mix or sugar to seep down, and I wanted the raisins to be at the top incase they didn't want raisins in their cookies. The layer order I used was: flour mixture (bottom), brown sugar, white sugar, rolled oats, then the raisins. All in all, a FANTASTIC recipe!! My 1 1/2 year old son LOVED them (he cried when there was no more!!) so we give this one a 2 thumbs up!!

wonderful, fragrant, crisp yet chewy cookies. i made a batch of these around midnight and they were all gone by noon of the next day. that night i made another batch, modifying the recipe to my taste (it was a bit too sweet) by just cutting out the white sugar, and now it's perfect.

Great cookies, easy to make. I melted the margarine used 1/2c with old fashioned oats, but needed 2 Tbls more for quick cooking, they stick together well, added 2 tsp water and substituted 1/4 tsp cloves and 1/4 tsp allspice for the nutmeg. I think they are best with old fashioned oats, but will be using quick cooking because I bought a big box. PatLa

Yummy cookies. However, since nobody I know likes raisin cookies, I used chocolate chips. Doing that made it not fit into the jar, so I had to scale the recipe down. I was not sure how the spices would taste with the chips, but they turned out great!
