Divine. Absolutely divine. I don't even like oatmeal cookies. I added a teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg for flavor and instead of raisins or chocolate chips, I used CARAMEL chips and wow. People think I can bake now!

The contents did fit if you really pack it! I put raisins instead of chocolate chips. When I make a batch they were flat and greasy. I am going to try to adapt a old favorite recipe. I did make 10 of them made to give for teachers gifts.

I made these with my four year old for all of her teachers. The jars were easy to prepare and looked great! They were a big success!

I made these for Christmas this year. I decorated them with ribbon and trinkets. Everyone loved them. I also made some for myself and this recipe is great! Very tasty.

I was VERY disappointed that the ingredients for this didn't fit into the quart size jar. It wasn't even close!

I took the advice of many reviewers (the most useful piece of advice was using the ice cream scoop for packing). Since I didn't want the colorful Nestle Holiday chocolate chip mix to be hidden under the fabric, I came up the following layering order which looked very pretty: 1)white sugar 2)Oats 3)choc. chips 4)dark brown sugar 5)salt & baking powder 6)flour. I attached a wooden spoon to each of my jars. Approximate cost per jar including fabric, ribbon and wooden spoon: $4

These cookies are awesome! A friend of mine gave me this as a gift - I liked it so much I decided to make up a bunch for friends and co-workers. Instead of using a jar, I went to the balk barn and bought little bags they have (I bought large ones, with angels on them) Everything fit in perfectly!

I just finished making 12 for Christmas gifts! Very easy to make, and they look SO pretty! Very professional. No one believes that I did them myself! Make sure to use a funnel for the dry ingredients, or they won't go into the jar. Also, the nuts didn't fit! Oh well!

These were so easy to make, and they look just great in the jar. The nuts seriously won't fit, but everything else does if you pack everything down hard. My cookies came out a little flat and greasy looking, but they taste great. Maybe I just cooked them wrong. The finished jar is really cute. I plan to make this again for gifts.

I just made 8 of these to give away as Christmas gifts. I baked one batch to see how they were and I LOVED THEM! These are the chewiest and best chocolate chip cookies EVER! They don't have the texture of an oatmeal cookie-- more like a chocolate chip cookie with some oatmeal. I made 2 jars with a slight variation. I used cinnamon chips and topped off the jar with finely chopped walnuts. I'm sure they'll be great. This is a good recipe to use as a base.

I don't know what the negative comment is all about, but this recipe is absolutely fabulous-- my only negative comment is that I must have eaten my weight in these cookies! You can't buy better cookies, if you tried!!

These turned out awful. They were ugly, very flat, and tasted really bad. Sorry to be so negative!

Did this for a church bake & craft sale. Decorated the jar, put it on a tray and surrounded it with baked cookies. Turned out to be a big hit and good seller! Followed the advice of 1)switching the order of brown sugar and oats, 2)reducing the chips to 3/4 fo a cup, and 3)reducing the walnuts to 1/2 cup. Very, very tasty!
