We packed & packed and could only get 3/4 c. choc. chips and no nuts into the jar. We tried both the regular and wide mouth 1 quart jars. We made 16 jars to give as Christmas gifts. They look cute, with calico snowman tops, raffia, candy canes and a snowman Christmas card attached.

Seems like a great recipe, although I couldn't fit all the ingredients in the jar. the chips barely fit and there wasn't any space for the nuts. I packed the stuff too. Any suggestions?

These were very delicious. I wanted to give them a try before I gave out the jars for Christmas. They truly have that good old fashioned oatmeal cookie flavor.

I gave this as a gift to about 10 of my friends and acquaintances this past Christmas; everyone loved them and asked for the recipe. Great!!

I made these for my family for Christmas. They all loved them. I topped them with Christmas fabric and added a raffia bow.

I made this for Christmas presents for people at work. They loved it! Overall it was much more inexpensive than trying to buy 12 presents and I liked that it was useful as well. I found it easier to fill the jars when I made a paper cone. You have to pack everything down a bit so it will fit easily.

Very attractive. I switched the order of the brown sugar and oats so that the flour would not leak down into the oats. However, when I did that, I did not have enough room for 1 cup each of chips and walnuts. So, I reduced the chips to 3/4 cup and the walnuts to 1/2 cup. Hope it's ok.

This recipe was ok, but you can't really taste the oats. I've decided to go with a different recipe for my jar mixes this Christmas.

I made seveal jars of these (includig one for myself) for Grandparent's Day gifts. They are attractive in the jar, and are very tasty with lots of texture! I found them to be moist using minimal baking time.

I made the cookies a little larger and didn't cook them quite as long and they turned out pretty moist. They were great!

Great recipe. Though I didn't make this recipe "in a Jar" for a gift (yet!), my family enjoyed the cookies. They have are crisp outside with a slight chewy centre. I made mine with raisins and they were gone in a weekend. I made them a little smaller than suggested and got 36 cookies.
