How to Make Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Jars

I love making my ultimate chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe for my friends and family. The cookies have the perfect amount of crunch and chew and chocolatey goodness. I’ve had multiple people ask me for my recipe, and I always get so excited to share it with them.

But let’s face it – some days it’s hard to cook.

Doctor’s appointments, teacher meetings, and too many loads of laundry can all pile up and take a toll on my energy levels. On those days, it’s nice to have a little pick-me-up of a dessert that doesn’t require a lot of effort on my part.

So on those busy days, I like to have Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Jars on hand. Just dump the dry ingredients in a bowl, stir in a few wet ingredients, and boom! A wonderful treat ready to eat in just a few minutes.

These Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Jars make great Christmas gifts. If you have a few mason jars on hand, you can easily make several batches that you can give away (or keep) at your convenience. And since the ingredients are all shelf stable, they’ll last for several months in your pantry.

What You’ll Need

These Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie Jars don’t require a lot of tools or equipment to make, but you will need a few items readily available:

• Wide-Mouth quart mason jar with lid
• Measuring cups and spoons
• A funnel with a wide end (or you can just use a paper towel)
• A cup, spatula, or spoon to push down ingredients

If you’re feeling extra creative, you can use ribbon or twine and labels to decorate your jar. I had quite a few of these adorable tags on hand when I made the jars featured in this post. I am an Amazon associate, so I do earn a small commission for your purchases, but I only recommend products I love.
