I made these today for a "come to my house and buy something party" I'm hosting tomorrow. I had this recipe printed out a few weeks in advance and shopped for the all ingrediants and was all set. It said quart size jar... Needless to say I packed and pressed and tapped and tried just about everything to make thes fit in the jar. I even put heavy plastic on my potato masher and used that to pack each layer seperately. No luck. I am sending them home with my guests reguardless, but I am very sad they didn't turn out like the picture.

I used this recipe to make jars to sell at a bake sale. I believe they all sold- but I have not heard anything about how good they are. Also, I used large (quart?) jars and had a hard time fitting in the ingredients. I think I will look for other recipes.

I tried this as a gift b/c I had all the ingredients, and I figured it'd be quick to put together - I used the ice cream scoop trick, I packed everything as much as it could possibly be packed, and I still ended up with at least a 1/4 of a cup of the flour mixture on my counter and a real struggle to get the jar closed. Irritating.

I was going to give this away as gifts but after trying out the recipe I definitely will not! The flavor was ok but the cookies turned out really flat and I had a hard time getting them off the cookie sheet! I thought this would be a really good recipe after reading all the reviews but was really disappointed. I followed the recipe exactly.

Wow... after such good reviews I thought forsure this recipe would be worth making! I am glad a made a batch before I gave them away. First of all, the ingredients hardly fit in the jar. I was going to use the advice of others for packing but after baking a batch, I won't be making another jar. They turned out really flat, and somewhat boring flavor. I'm going to try the Nestle recipe next. So disappointed!

I had no room for chocolate or nuts and the recipe has no spice. I added 1T cinnamon. The flour going in at the top was terrible, flour was floating around everywhere when I tried to pack it. I should have read the other reviews first. The flour should be on the bottom of the jar on this one. With more planning next time I will pack in this order: flour, baking powder, salt, brown sugar, white sugar, chocolate chips, oats. I know the nuts won't fit... too bad. I didn't bake the cookies, so I don't know how they will taste.

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 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!
