Oatmeal Cookies in a Jar
Equipment
- 12 widemouth 1-quart glass mason jars with lids
- canning funnel
- large bowl
- whisk
Ingredients
- 12 cups all purpose flour (1 entire 5lb bag of flour)
- 4 TB baking soda
- 4 TB cinnamon
- 2 TB nutmeg
- 1 TB salt
- 12 cups coconut sugar
- 12 cups rolled oats
- 12 scant cups raisins, chocolate chips, dried cranberries or other goodies
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the mason jars and lids.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Use a whisk to thoroughly mix the ingredients.
- Using a funnel, divide the flour mix equally amongst the 12 jars. If you do the math, technically, it should come to about 1 cup and a scant 1TB in each jar. It doesn't. Because of the whisking, the ingredients expand a bit. Typically, I end up putting 1 cup and 2-3TB of the flour mix in each jar.
- Using the funnel, add 1 cup of coconut sugar to each jar.
- Using the funnel, add 1 cup of oatmeal to each jar.
- Using the funnel, add 1 scant cup of goodies to each jar.
- Put the lids on the jars and seal.
Notes
Personally, I love to use raisins, dried cranberries or mini chocolate chips. But this part of the recipe is completely customizable—you could do white chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, sun drops, chopped apricots, walnuts, or a mix of any or all of the above.
Don't forget to add a label with directions on how to bake the cookies. This is what I always include on my label:
Mix: 1 stick butter, 2TB milk, 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla
Bake at 350 degrees F for 9-11 minutes.
Enjoy!
