I havent tried them myself, but made this as a 'thankyou' gift for my baby shower. and I have gotten amazing feedback from all my friends who baked them. Not only was finishing the recipe easy to follow, but the cookies tasted "amazing"... many friends have even asked for the full recipe so they can make them again. Making the jars was pretty easy, just followed the directions to a T, making sure to compress the ingredients because it is a tight squeeze. 5 Stars! Definitely recommend!!!!

These are just awesome as gifts and as a cookie itself! I have made these so many times and everyone loves them! My dad calls them "Breakfast Cookies"! "Couple of cookies and a cup of coffee and your ready to go!", he says. And he doesn't even eat sweets very often. I add an extra tablespoon of flour so they stay nice and thick. Sometimes I'll add extra vanilla. Don't overcook them unless you prefer a very hard, crunchy cookie. I make a golf ball size balls and press them down a bit(1/2 inch thick) and cook for about 13 minutes.

This was a favorite for my family. It had a nice crust and was very moist.

The taste is great but I think the directions for the recipient leave something to be desired - should read 1/2 cup softened butter (i think some people are using melted, which is why their cookies have no shape). Otherwise, wonderful recipe!!

These are a favorite amongst family & friends. I initially found this recipe when searching for a 'cookies in a jar' gift, and decided to make them for myself before gifting. They are REALLY really tasty. I recommend to roll the cookie dough into just-smaller-than-a-golf-ball size, and NOT flatten it before baking. They spread out nicely in the oven on their own. Also, I always remove the cookies 1 minute before they appear done--they firm up quite a bit once out of the oven. Enjoy!

Found this recipe a few years ago and now I make them every year at christmas time. Everyone who's had them loves them. They're soft and crunchy so everyone will love them. Plus saves me all the time of baking.

I made these cookies not from the jar and they had wonderful shape. Then I tested one from the jar and they were flat! Not sure what happened there, I used the same ingredients. Anyways, they were awesome in taste and I will test other alternatives to making them have more shape.

I just made these FOLLOWED the recipe exactly (except omitted coconut bc I dont like) and yeah...these are REALLY GOOD. Also about 100 cal per cookie. I make the Nestle Tollhouse recipe w/cchips, butterscotch chips, and melt the butter and they are good. These are good because they are good the second day too. I usually don't like crunchy cookies but these are crunchy without being dry or falling apart. Just don't overcook them. I have learned to take cookies out a little bit before they look "done".
