Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies in a Jar
As we get ready for Christmas, we thought we’d share a recipe that you can give as a gift for someone else to bake! Cookie mix in a jar is a fun way to give a thoughtful, homemade present to someone, and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies happen to be one of our favorites. After adding a few simple ingredients, the person you give this to will have a batch of delicious, fresh-baked cookies to enjoy.
These jars make great gifts for parents, teachers, neighbors, friends, or really anyone who loves cookies!
