Cookie In A Jar Recipe - Oat & Chocolate Chip

You know that feeling when you've invited guests around at the last minute and whilst you are madly running around the house tidying and bringing some order to it you realise you have nothing in your kitchen cupboards to offer them?

Well panic no more.

You just need cookie in a jar in your life!

Not only are these a super convenient item to keep in your pantry, they also make a really thoughtful gift and they also look fabulous.


Cookie in a jar is so simple. You measure out the ingredients, place them nicely in a jar and  stick on a label listing the wet ingredients and cooking directions. When you want to bake, you throw everything together, mix, in the oven and before you know it you'll have a fresh batch of delicious cookies.




Cookie In A Jar Recipe - Oat & Chocolate Chip

Ingredients
  • 150g plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 80g brown sugar
  • 100g caster sugar
  • 180g rolled oats
  • 150g chocolate chips
Method
  1. Pack each layer firmly in the jar in this order Flour, Baking Powder, Cinnamon, Brown Sugar, Caster Sugar, Rolled Oats and Chocolate Chips.
  2. Stick a label on the back with the below instructions:
    * Makes 18 cookies
    -----
    * 150g butter (softened)
    * 1 egg
    -----
    * Preheat oven to 180ºC
    * Beat butter and egg together until creamy.
    * Add cookie mix to wet ingredients and mix until well combined.
    * Spoon and flatten on a lined baking tray - allow room for spreading
    * Bake for 12 - 15 minutes
    * Cool on a wire rack
    * Enjoy!

You can get super creative if this is for a gift. From the type of jar you use, materials and ribbons and even how you do the labels,




You can of course use this recipe just to make some good old fashioned oats and chocolate chip cookies without putting it in a jar first. I normally make a batch and jar a batch at the same time. J is a cookie fiend and he really loves these ones.

The varieties are endless with cookies in a jar. I'm thinking about doing some more recipes like this for different types of cookies. What do you think?
