If you have white chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies in a jar, you are always just a few ingredients away from a tasty treat. The mix is super simple to put together and the cookies are chewy and delicious.
Make several batches of oatmeal cranberry cookie mix in a jar and you will be set for easy to make cookies in the months to come. You can also pretty them up and give them as yummy gifts. Edible gifts are the best kind of gifts!
There is something about adding craisins to oatmeal cookies that makes them feel extra special. While oatmeal raisin cookies are always good using cranberries instead jazzes them up a bit and makes them feel like they are ready for the holidays.
Since we have been doing several in a jar recipes in preparation for Christmas, these cookies seemed like a perfect addition to the collection.
I love the mix of chewy oatmeal, bright cranberries, and creamy white chocolate chips. However, you could use whatever kind of chocolate chips you like.
We also have a recipe for dark chocolate cranberry oatmeal cookies that are delicious. It really is hard to go wrong.

The jars of mix come together in just a few minutes. It really doesn’t take much more time to make multiple once you have everything out.
So, you might as well go ahead and make a bunch of jars at once. Then, stick a few in your pantry for later. You deserve cookies!
Then give the rest as teacher appreciation gifts, neighbor gifts, or even hostess gifts. I don’t know too many people who don’t like freshly baked cookies.
Just make sure to include the baking instructions so the recipient knows what to do with the mix. I bought a bunch of blank tags so that I could easily add information to all of the “in a jar” recipes I’ve been making lately.
I have been loving making all of these homemade mixes. There is a growing collection of jars that is just waiting for the holidays to be given away. Homemade gifts are always so fun.

The cookies were delicious and also make a pretty gift in the jar. But I wish the printable instruction tag was included. Break in the kitchen, not so much with the computer.
I hear you. I made a quick printable tag. I hope that helps!
