Made them for my sons teachers and therapists as part of their gift bags for Christmas. I mixed the brown sugar with the white to prevent clumping. They all got to make cookies with their kids for Santa and loved them.
Michael Graham
It was a bit sweet even though i omitted the white sugar. Will reduce the brown sugar a little next time around. But taste and texture was good!

I used cooking cocoa which made cookies bland. Definitely will try regular cocoa next time

Excellent and easy!

Sweet, rich and indulgent. Looks spectacular, tastes delicious; hope it impresses! I would definitely make this again…. (N.B. I layered it as per CHRISTINE1906 and mixed 1/4 c of the white in with the brown sugar as per BROWNIEBAKER — see pic posted.)
Amy Andrade
Made these cookies as gifts for co-workers. Omg! They all loved them so much! Very good cookies!!
Brittney Curtis
Made this with the pretty mason jars – looked awesome! Of course tried it out first and was really tasty. Thank you!
James Jones
Easy, delicious, chocolate chocolate cookie. Changes: used 3/4 c. white chocolate chips and 3/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of the pecan and semi-sweet ingredient measures. Chewy and rich! I mixed all the dry ingredients together and then put them in mason jars for gifts.

I really loved how these cookies came out! Mixing it with my hands made it all the more fun, and the dough was just right 🙂 One thing I did different was I added 1 TBS instant coffee granules because I love the mocha flavor (and I left out the pecans). It tasted great, Thank you!

The only thing I changed is not adding pecans. I didn’t have any. It fit perfectly in a quart jar without the pecans. Just make sure to pack everything down pretty well before adding the next ingredient. I used the 1/4 cup measuring cup to help reach it and pack it down. I’m sure you can use anything that would fit down in the jar though. I also put the flour at the bottom instead of the top. It made 40 cookies total using a rounded tablespoon to measure the dough.

Very nice! I made them for Christmas gifts this year. I too started layering with the flour and it was still a very tight fit.
Steven Mcmahon
Picky kid approved! I used a full cup of butter and had no problems at all with dryness. Also omitted the nuts and substituted white chocolate chips so we had two kinds of chips and these turned out very rich and chocolatey.
Christopher Morris
This is a great recipe! I used it a a personal little gift for my wedding. The cookies where amazing as well.
Charles Hart
A little expensive, and not very easy to put in the jars, but everyone liked it!
Shawna Reid
Holy moley , those are the bomb! Used the “in the jar” part of the recipe for my teacher gifts this year and decided to make up a test batch (since I hadn’t made the hubs any chocolate cookies this year – his fave) and they are delicious. Haven’t tried them cooled yet – may not get a chance! They look nice in the jar, too. Thanks.
Daniel Smith
Excellent. Great gifts.
Henry Guerra
I did not have parchment paper. For the 3/4 c. margarine I used 1/2 shortening, 1/2 margarine and baked on a non-stick cookie sheet @ 375 oven. Really easy and they came out great!
Daniel Ferguson
These cookies were awesome! My husband’s favorite we were given a jar as a Christmas present and I have to say it was the best present!
Kayla Mason
My wife says these cookies are INCREDIBLE. Made ours with 3/4C chocolate chips, and 3/4C white chocolate chips instead of pecans.
Stacey Patterson
The jar didn’t hold quite enough flour. I added to put 1/4-1/2 c. of flour to mix when making. They turned out great!! Will definitely give them as gifts again…the kids made them for babysitters and teachers.
