I first made this recipe to give as a Christmas gift to co-workers. Later, I tried it. My whole family LOVED it!! That was 5 years ago and we have enjoyed these cookies every Christmas since then! We love it!

We made this as a thank you gift for our daughter's 9th birthday. We tested it first and the cookies are good. Not great, but good. Best made with hands as the recipe is a bit dry. Cookies did fall flat but still tasted good. Glad we did it.

Wow! I like the cranberry hootycreeks cookies from this site VERY much, but these are very good too! Didn't make the jar yet. If you like nuts, you HAVE to put them in, they are so much better with them. I was surprised at the taste, even the dough alone was very yummie. Keeper.

I made this mix as a gift for my mom and she loved them. I used 1/2 cup dark chips and 1/2 cup white chips. I also substituted almonds for the nuts. I'll be making this for my own family soon.

This was an excellent gift idea, after reading some other reviews I changed the order of the ingredients and I used just chocolate chips (no Nuts)

This cookie is relly very delicious! I can recommend it to everybody. I only changed the amount of sugar, approx. to the half, and it is still very nice cholate-sweet! Thanks for the recipe 1Cookiegirl :)

My family loves this recipe! We made these jars for Christmas and sold them to raise money for our favorite charity. Everyone who bought them said that they were the best cookies they have ever had! It is now the recipe we use when we want cookies in our house, we just skip the jar!

These are great. I replaced the chocolate chips with mini Reese pieces and peanut butter chips and made chocolate peanut butter chip cookies!

These were really good. They looked pretty in the jar. I mixed the sugars so the brown sugar wouldn't clump so much. Also did half the flour on the bottom layer, then sugar mixture, flour, cocoa, then white chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, then peanut butter chocolate chips. Were a little crunchy the next day. I may have baked them a little too long.

Fantastic. In the jar, this recipe looks beautiful -- and I'm confident enough in the recipe that I know it's a good gift. I substituted half the semi-sweet chocolate chips and all the nuts for white chocolate chips. Delicious and beautiful. The recipe was so easy that my college-aged cousins -- including one very clueless 18-year-old boy -- were able to make these fairly successfully on campus.

I didn't make it and put it in a jar for a gift, I just made the cookies without the nuts (my bf hates nuts in cookies!). They were DELICIOUS! All of my friends/family loved them. I have always had a problem with chocolate cookies with chocolate chips being overly chocolaty, which I can't stand, but these were perfect. Even after they cooled, they were still soft and chewy. This is now one of my top things to bake :) Thank you SO much Jennifer!!!

I thought this was a great and easy gift to make and I gave it to a friend who maintains that she can't cook or bake and was so pleased when these turned out well (she invited me over to taste them). I will follow the tip from other reviewers next time and will change the layering as the flour did make a big fat white later on the top.

This is a great recipe, and a wonderful gift for the holidays. I always make these jars up for the staff at my husband's office and they are a no-fail hit each year. I substitute more chips for the nuts, because I'm not much of a nut person. I really love doing these with the white chocolate/chocolate swirl chips. Very pretty!

I just tried this recipe. I did use the new nestle peanutbutter and chocolate swirl morsels instead of chocolate. They are wonderful. Can't wait to make the jars as gifts for all my friends and family.

I have made this recipe numerous times over the years. It is terrific and makes a great gift. We just made a few jars for my son's teacher and after-school caregivers. I made a few tiny changes--we use peanut butter chips in place of the chopped pecans, and we layer it as others have--alternating white and dark. It's a sensational hit with everyone! Thanks so much~
