Baking with this mix is all fun and no fuss. Give it in a big jar, with the recipe, baking sheets, parchment paper, a metal rack and oven mitts as a special gift, at Christmas, Easter, housewarming or any time. Especially effective when young students are just moving away from home for the first time.

I've tried several different oatmeal cookie recipes, but this one is by far my favorite. The cookies are always soft and chewy, and they have the perfect amount of sweetness.

These cookies are the perfect way to use up leftover oats. I usually have a lot of oats leftover from making oatmeal for breakfast, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses them up.

I've made these cookies several times and they always turn out great. I love the way the oats and spices give them such a unique flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cookies turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overmixed the dough.

These cookies are so convenient to have on hand. I just keep a jar of the mix in my pantry and then I can make a batch of cookies whenever I want.

I added some chocolate chips to my cookies and they were delicious! I think next time I'll try adding some raisins or nuts.
