I too added a little extra flour and used two eggs... my "cookies" were more cake-like than anything but they had a good flavour. I think next time I will call them muffin tops or make them into cookie bars.

This recipe is yummy, not to mention pretty when you spice up the jar with ribbon. And this is how you get 1 1/2 eggs: if you read the info. up at the top, the original recipe was for 2 dozen. It has been changed (probably by allrecipes.com) to make 1 dozen. That means that the original recipe used 3 eggs. I assume they just divided 3 in half without really thinking about it.

tHIS IS NOT ONLY A GREAT RECIPE,IT IS ALSO A FAN ONE. iT MAKES A GREAT GIFT ANY OCCASION, ESPECIALLY SINGLE MEN AND PPL ON THE GO LIKE SOCCER MOMS, NBA PLAYERS, AND JUST PPL 2 BUSY TO COOK. iT'S ALL RIGHT THERE IN THE JAR!

Just okay, if you're in a pinch and you want to whip up some cookies, then their fine.

I made this for a fundraiser (and forgot to take a picture). The jars turned out pretty cute - next time I would put the darker ingredients on the bottom so they will show better, the fabric I put on the lids hid the chocolate chips. I'm only giving this recipe a 3 star rating because the 1 1/2 egg instruction is ridiculous. I instrcuted to use 2 eggs, but I did not mix a batch for myself so I don't know how they turned out. Thanks for the recipe.

I only have one word and that is AMAZING it was delicious and it made an exelent gift

I think the author of the recipe may have meant to add one whole egg, and one egg yolk. I have a chewey cookie recipe that calls for just that. If you want a softer cookie use all brown sugar. I hope this helps! Happy baking everyone! Rebecca

The cookies were superb! I plan on using them as a christmas gift! I would like to make a note as to the using half an egg though, it is very simple (and I am going to add this to th note card on the jars as well) simply beat an egg in a small bowl then take half off that (about 1 1/2 to 2 tbsp depending on the size of the egg)

This is a great recipe and I get requests for these cookies all the time. I just make the recipe as a regular cookie mix instead of giving it away and they always come out great!

I made this in the jar and my husband and I agreed that it didn't look as good as the others we had done, so we decided to just go ahead and make them and use a different recipe for holiday gift. The cookies had great flavor, but they went very flat and even stuck to the cookie sheet. By the way, I used 2 eggs because I didn't know how to use 1 1/2. Perhaps this was the problem?

This is an excellent idea for the kids to make for Christmas gifts. Also for those who don't understand the 1/2 of egg you just beat one egg and then put in a glass measuring cup and remove on half on contents.

3/15/2007 I took orders for cookies in a jar the Christmas 2006 at work. This was the chocolate chip recipe I choose to use and had many complements on the taste of the cookies from those that made them. I sold them to buy Christmas for my 3 Teens, instead of getting a part time job. I encourage other parents to try this. Thanks.

This recipe is super easy to put together and are probably the best chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted. They are a little crispy on the outside but soft and chewy on the inside. I increased the flour to 2 cups and changed to 2 eggs and decreased the chocolate chips to 1-1/2 cups. I also found that if you pack every layer as you go, there is too much room left open at the top of the jar. So I only packed it down at the top before adding a final layer of chocolate chips. (I layered it like this: flour, chocolate chips, flour, brown sugar, flour and chocolate chips. Very pretty! Thank you!

A sweet treat! I added chopped walnuts to the second batch I made...yes second, they were a hit with my family and so very easy to make.

Not as tasty as my old stand-by, which is the Ghirardehli recipe. I think I'll stick with that one for right now.

I made it and followed all the directions, not even my husband would eat them, and he loves sweet!!

These are delicious. I cut the recipe in half and filled pint size jars instead quart and the cookies tasted the same and fantastic. W
