Questions & Replies

  1. I don't like using white sugar. Is there anyway I can substitute for more brown sugar maybe or something else?

  1. Excellent oatmeal raisin cookie, not rock hard, just slightly chewy the way I like them. The decorative jar is attractive, but I found that once the ingredients were allowed to remain in the jar for a couple of weeks, I needed a spoon to work the hardened packed brown sugar out of the jar, and then needed to rub the mounds of brown suger between my fingers to separate before mixing the ingredients. The entire mixing process was very hands on, so I would recommend plastic gloves. To have perfectly shaped cookies, I would leave about 1/2 inch more between the cookies to allow for the spread; unless I split the conjoined cookie edges prior to lifting off the cookie sheet, one of the cookies was likely to break apart before it reached the baker's rack (those were my samples). I ended up with 42 cookies. Thanks for posting, Toni! Made for 1-2-3-4 Hit Wonders.
     
  2. delicious!! not dry like some oatmeal cookies seem....gave these jars out as gifts and everyone loved them! Thanks for the great recipe
     
  3. Wonderful cookie. I skipped the jar part and went straight to bake. These were being baked for a dear friend, but oh dear, a cookie broke, must eat it! I have never really cared for oatmeal cookies in general, but these have changed my mind. Mine spread and thinned pretty much, but that turned out to be perfect. They are slightly crispy around the edge, and chewy goodness right through the middle. I will be making these again and again. Thanks so much for this recipe.
     
  4. This is a great year round cookie recipe and a terrific gift idea.
     
  5. These were great! I was pulling up recipes by random pick (at bottom of page)and this was my first pick. I had been looking for recipes in a jar for christmas presents. So glad I found this one :) I ran a test run before making for gifts. My husband ate the first batch before the second came out of the oven, so that will tell ya that these were delicious. :) They were very easy to make. I just threw all the dry ingredients in one large bowl and the butter,egg and vanilla in a small bowl and blended well than added to the dry mixture and combined as stated in the directions. In my oven the cookies only took 10 minutes but everyones oven will bake differently. I will be keeping this recipe for future making for either gifts or when we are wanting cookies. Thank you for sharing the recipe!!

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p> <li>ladypit's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/33588> WW Core Recipes I Have Tried </a> </li> <p>&nbsp;</p> <li>shirl(j)831's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/34888> Can this really be lowfat??? </a> </li> <p>&nbsp;</p> <li>julesong's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/30566> Cooking Light Recipes </a> </li> <p>&nbsp;</p> <li>mariposa13's <a href=http://www.recipezaar.com/mycookbook/book/44690> WW &amp; Lowfat Recipes </a> </li> <p><br /><img src=http://members.aol.com/sdnt4life/dpg.gif alt=Dirty /> <br /><a href=http://s10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/?action=view&amp;current=kitchen-special-hot2-1.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/kitchen-special-hot2-1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Animation1.gif alt=Image /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/4treasurehunt.gif alt=FFF#2 width=50% /> <br /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/purplechefhat.gif alt=Image /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/chef3.jpg alt=Image /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/beartag_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/adopted_1_1.jpg border=0 alt=Adopted /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/200_artistrichardneuman-art-prints_.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/untitled.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/200_PACpic.jpg border=0 alt=PAC /><img src=http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/projects/pacbanner.jpg border=0 alt=Photo /> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZaarWorldTourFirst.gif alt=/ /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/ZWT2.gif alt=/ /> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%203/ZWT3-Participation.gif alt=/ /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/World%20Tour/AnimatedHostChallengeBanner.gif alt=ZWT3 /><img src=http://www.satsleuth.com/cooking/RecipeSwap2.JPG alt=width=50% /> <br /><img src=http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/cookbookswap.jpg alt=/ /></p>
