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!!

K, I'm confused. How is 5 cups + 3 teaspoons supposed to fit in a 4 cup (1 ounce) jar? I pushed a pushed but alas it didn't work. I ended up cutting the oats down to 1 1/2, raisins to 1/2 and sugars and flour each by a bit. I'm giving them as gifts and I'm nervous.

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!

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!!!!

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!
