Make several batches of oatmeal chocolate chip 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!
Putting together these oatmeal chocolate chip cookies in a jar is super quick and easy to do. You can set up an assembly line and make a bunch of them at once.
Then, when you are ready to make the cookies, all you have to do is add 3 simple ingredients you are likely to have on hand. The process couldn’t be easier.
You even use melted butter, so you can mix the dough together by hand. See, easy!
The resulting cookies have delicious flavor and a nice chew. The mix of oats and chocolate chips is hard to beat.

Once you have a bunch of jars made up, 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.
Make Them Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
If you want oatmeal raisin cookies instead, that is easy to do. Just use raisins in place of the chocolate chips. Then add ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon and a dash of ground nutmeg to the flour mixture. Easy peasy!

- Place the lid on the jar and tie a tag onto the jar with the baking instructions.
- Homemade cookie mix can be kept in the pantry for 6-9 months. So you can make a bunch ahead of time if you would like.

- Pour in the contents of the jar and mix until combined.
