I gave the jars as gifts to those who hosted Bridal Showers for me. I thought they were very cute and the cookies are awesome!

I LOVE these cookies!! I used to make them years ago for my family and friends, but the recipe was lost in a yard sale and I couldn't find its match anywhere. Imagine my delight at finding it on Allrecipes! It truly made my Christmas! This recipe is so simple and fun, I love the jar ideas too, what a wonderful way to share my favorite recipes!

Sorry, but this cookie wasn't very good. The MELTED margarine in it made it so the oatmeal and chocolate chips wouldn't mix it very well and they got HARD, quickly.

Tastes Great! You REALLY have to push down the ingredients to make it fit, but I know they'll be a hit this Christmas!

The jar looked great and the layers - with their different colors and textures - make for a very nice presentation. However, the cookie was very average and had way to many oats for my taste. Looking for a better cookie in a jar recipe that I could offer as a gift this coming Christmas, I tried Julia's Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies In A Jar (also found on this site). Julia's cookies tasted heavenly! The look of the jar is not as pretty as this one, but hey... who cares about the jar? It's the cookie that matters! So... if you are just after a pretty looking cookie in a jar recipe, this is it -- but if you want an outstanding cookie, try Julia's.

The cookies were amazing! We baked them to test the recipe before we use them for gifts, and we will definitely be giving these to friends for the holidays. The ingredients fit perfectly in the wide-mouthed quart jar. We used an empty water bottle to press down each layer. The next day, we heated them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds on high power to make them warm and soft as if they had just come out of the oven. We highly recommend this recipe! :)

Gave this as gifts last year, was awesome. Use a funnel to layer in the ingredients nicely.

TASTY! Did fill quart jar just right! Made with (red & green) m&m's for Christmas gifts... kept one for us to try. Better with m&m's than just chocolate chips:) Made some smaller than suggested & were good; bigger seemed to stay more moist.

Hallelujah!!! These are faboo! I've just eaten one fresh from the cooling rack, and it will be hard to control myself. They are supposed to be for dinner tomorrow night. Fat Chance!!! I used pecans and real butter (as any good Amish wannabe would!) Try these; you won't be sorry. Blessings!!

These were a huge hit with my kids teachers! I love the advice of turning the recipe into a cowboy poem. Definitely reverse the order of the ingredients into the jar or else the flour will sink to the bottom.

This baked up very well, but the order of the ingredients is wrong if you don't want flour getting into the choc chips. The order I used was flour(pre-combined with the bp, baking soda and salt), oats, brown sugar, white sugar, pecans and choc chips. As I was giving this to friends who don't bake at all I experimented with using canola oil instead of melted butter (people who don't bake tend to only have spreads which ruin baked goods) and it works perfectly. None of the recipients had ever seen a cookie mix jar before and seemed to really enjoy the novelty.

Great Recipe... although I didn't eat them- I gave them away as gifts. You DO have to put the ingredients in backwards, thanks for the tips. One person I gave them to said "best cookie ever"

These are delicious! I was able to fit almost everything in the 1 quart jars. I started with the flour, then oatmeal, then Chocolate Chips, then brown sugar and white sugar and I topped it off with the pecans. I packed each layer down very well. Each jar had a different amount of pecans as I just put enough to fill up the rest of the jar. I will save this recipe to use every Christmas.
