I was able to fit almost everything in the jars - I just had to leave some chocolate chips out - but I figured I could either attach a bag of chips or just have the receiver make up the difference with their own chocolate chips. I didn't make any of the cookies to see how good they are.

I had a hard time getting all the ingredients to fit. The flour gave me the most trouble because I had to pack it pretty tight in order to put the lid on it. Also one of the recipients of this cookie jar baked it and said it didn't rise. She ended up throwing the whole batch away.

I made these as gifts for Christmas for all of my co-workers (We have an annual Tree trimming party at). Those coworkers that have made the cookies have loved them, others have asked for an extra jar so the can display it as decoration. This was a great way to economize on gifts for a large group of people; I bought most of my ingredients at a locale wharehouse-wholesaler (like Sams Club/Costco) which kept the costs down. I spent about $3 per gift - and you can't beat that!

Went flat. Added more flour and chips, still flat. No taste.

Good Recipe. I am doing the jars right now, and just a HUGE TIP!!! PUT FLOUR FIRST!!! I made 4 jars with ingredients not fitting, and the jars looked all "floury" otherwise. Putting the flour first and making sure to pack down after each ingredient is a HUGE help! =)

I did a test run of these before giving them away for presents. They were amazingly yummy. I added some colored sprinkles to the mix for some extra color. They came out wonderfully.

These cookies are very good! Taste like Toll House. They do turn into crisp cookies. I prefer chewy so I microwave them before I eat them. For this recipe, I would recommend just scooping the flour up with the measuring cup rather than doing it the "right" way. That adds the little extra flour so they don't come out so flat. (I tried it both ways.) If you're new to doing cookie mix jars, make sure you put the flour in first then pack it down with the bulb end of a turkey baster. Next the brown sugar, then the white sugar, then the chips. Pack each layer! This creates distinct layers and all the ingredients fit easily. Also make a loose funnel by rolling & taping a piece of paper. This makes it much easier to dump the ingredients in cleanly. Hope these tips help!

I made these cookies for christmas gifts and they came out looking really bland. Thier were just 4 layers, and most of the flower flowed into the chocolate chips.

Makes a great gift. For variation, I used whole wheat flour and 12oz. of chocolate chips (approx. 2 cups). This is also great for kids to make also.

This made a great gift! I found snowman jars at the local Walmart (held about 28 oz if you stuffed chips & M&Ms in the hat (lid)). I used a mixture of chocolate chips and red/green M&Ms for extra color -- was able to fit an M&M in each eye and nose of the snowman too! I couldn't fit all of the chocolate chips/M&Ms in the jar or lid, so I wrapped the extras in a little baggie and tied it with a ribbon. To make the gift extra nice, I placed the jar inside a basket lined with a holiday dish towel and matching potholders. Not only did it make a great impression, the cookies turned out wonderfully too :-) Thanks for this great recipe/gift idea.

these are absolutely excellent, use a one quart ball jar and put the flour in first. cut the choc chips to one cup(otherwise hard to fit and frustrating) and add 3/4 cup or 1 1/2 sticks of butter instead of one cup. I find blue bonnet margarine is a great baking margarine. use it when it is cold!! fridge the dough while cookies are baking, it will turn out wonderful!

I made 12 of these as gifts for the people I work with. The first one I layered each individual ingredient and couldn't fit the full 1 & 1/2 cups of chocolate chips in the jar. So on the rest of the jars I put the chocolate chips in 1/2 cup at a time. I put the flour 1st then 1/2 cup choc chips then brown sugar then another 1/2 cup chocolate then the white sugar and then filled to the top with the rest of the chocolate. All of the ingredients fit because the looser ingredients filter around the chocolate chips but the layers weren't really distinct . You really have to pack everything down as tight as possible. It took me about 3 hours just to fill all of the jars.

I was given this recipe as a gift. I made it for my sister's birthday and it was a huge hit! Everyone kept complimenting how delicious it was. They wanted the recipe so I had to contact the friend that gave it to me and she directed me to this recipe. It makes a great birthday cookie too. You just have to lower the oven temperature to 350, place it in a greased foil lined pizza pan with foil hanging over the edges, and then after baking for 10 minutes turn the foil in over the edges to allow the center to finish cooking 10 additional minutes without over-browing the edges. It is great!
