A Gift in a Jar for Oatmeal Cookie Fans

. . . like my grandpa. My mom always makes sure I prepare some oatmeal raisins for him. And why not -- they're yummy.

They almost feel healthy, too, with all that whole grain and fruit. They're a great cookie for everyone to make after swearing to those New Year's resolutions!

Quaker Oats provides the recipe for creating the jars on their site. It's kind of nice because it even incorporates the fat yet, like Bisquick, it doesn't require refrigeration. That's miracle of shortening for you.

Don't forget to print out the cookie recipe to attach to the jars, else your recipient won't know what to do with a jar full of floury oats.
