I used 2 1/2 cups of milk chocolate chips and pecans, this was the best recipe that I have ever found....I will make this again and again...

The name of these cookies is true to form for sure. Jumbo is definitely what you get and they are PERFECT. Chewy gooey on the inside with a nice crisp outer edge. I left the dough sit in the refrigerator overnight and I had a heck of a time forming the dough to bake the cookies but it's all good. It was well worth the work. I think that next time I make these, I will run a batch through the oven after chilling for 15 or 20 minutes just to see how they turn out but other than that, right on!

I did not like the taste of the shortening. They were very pale no matter how long I left them in the oven. If I try them again, I will use 1 cup of butter and only 1/3 cup shortening.

The BEST chocolate chip cookie recipe I have ever made! Used 1.5 bags of chocolate chips instead of just 1 bag. And I left out the nuts. These cookies are nice and crunchy on the outside and rich and gooey on inside. Excellent!

These cookies have become a favorite request to bring at family get togethers. My students also ask for them for class parties but I have to omit the pecans.

 Hey, Oakley, another fellow Kansas here....Overland Park to be exact.">  These cookes are really SUPER but my adult daughter said, when I presented her family with about a dozen of them, "Mom !  Have you ever heard of PORTION CONTROL !!"  What the heck, I only eat ONE of these where I'd grab two or three of the regular size so what's the difference, right ????">
