These cookies are especially nice to bake during the holidays because the recipe makes so many cookies. Bake these for your Christmas cookie exchange party or to give as gifts. Check out the cute diy gifting idea I have for you at the bottom.
I’ve made these cookies several times and have a couple of notes to add. The recipe calls for 3 cups of oats, but I’ve also made them with 2 cups after realizing I didn’t have enough on hand. They turned out just fine! Also, the yield says 4 dozen cookies but I think my last count was in the 60’s so….depends how large you make them.
HOSTESS TIP: These easy chocolate dipped biscotti also makes a great gift idea for the holidays.
Give these homemade cookies out for hostess gifts, or gifts for neighbors, teachers, or friends.

If you still have last minute gifts to give to hostesses, co-workers, friends, or helpers don’t go to the mall; go to your grocery store and get the ingredients to make this delicious homemade Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookie recipe. What’s more is you can also get the ‘gift packaging’ at the grocery store too!
- For the gift container, use the mini size canisters that nuts or Pringles chips come in. Empty it out and wipe down the inside with a damp cloth. Wrap the outside with scrapbook paper or wrapping paper, print out a circle gift tag {this one is from Bird’s Party} to apply to the lid, and tie with pretty ribbon. Bake your cookies small enough to fit inside the container and stack them up.
- Give the recipe card along with the gift so the recipient can re-live the sugary goodness all through the year. To make it easy for you just right click and save the recipe card below, and then print it out on your computer. Everyone love gifts of good taste!
