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!

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

This recipe won first place in our county fair. My son submitted it and it won! We increased the flour by 1/4 cup (to make 2 cups of flour total). We used two eggs (how does one get a half of an egg??)and we used a layer of white chips and swirled choc/white chips. It all fits in the jar if you pack it in well. We will be making these for Christmas gifts this year.

We tried so many different cookie in a jar recipes to try to find the best one for Christmas gifts for acquaintances one year. This one was the best by far!! I make it now just for the family without it ever making it into the jar. Enjoy!

I made a dozen of these to give away as party favors for my son's first birthday party. Turned out great, but so much chocolate I decided to call them "Mostly Chocolate Chip Cookies!" I also left the chocolate chips out of the flour mixture so I could create a more layered look in the jar: 1/2 flour mixture, 1c chocolate chips, brown sugar, 1/2 flour mixture, 1c chocolate chips. Can't wait to give them out!

I halved the chocolate chips and the sugar and it was just right. Also added 2 eggs. Can't imagine how sweet it would have been with all the sugar and chips! Way too sweet for my taste.

I doubled this recipe to more-than taste test! I actually omitted the eggs and only used 2 cups of Chocolate Chips instead of 4. This recipe is absolutely the best. I have used the Toll House (Copyright) recipe for years, but will now only use their chips! This is a very rich and crisp cookie! My entire family loved it!

Cookie were way too sweet. I think that the chocolate chips should be fewer. Also I used 2 eggs, I didn't understand the 1 1/2 eggs. How does one half an egg? Cookies were a bit flat.

Easy to make. I made two jars first one for me and one for a gift, that way I could see how things layered in the wide mouth quart jar.

I really like these cookies. They turned out great, especially if you're a chocoholic! If you don't like as many chocolate chips in your recipe, just take some out. They didn't turn out too flat when I baked them. The only problem I had was that they wanted to stick to the cookie sheet.

The best! We did a fundraiser for our Jr. Bible Quizzing team with them and they were a big hit and people are wanting more. So many wonderful comments from the people who bought them (at $6 per jar). My 8 year old son made them for our family. As a matter of fact, I am going to make a batch for my family right now!
