Pro Tips for Gifting Loaded Jumbo Cookies to friends and family:

Before we get into the recipe, make note that you may want to be baking and wrapping these as gifts.  there are a couple of ways of turning this easy recipe into fabulous gifts.

  • Putting one or two in a cellophane bag with a big bow is the perfect gift for neighbors, coworkers and friends.
  • I’ve also given these as frozen, individually portioned dough balls in a freezer friendly container. I like to make a batch of the dough, then freeze the dough in individual, 1/3 cup portions so I can bake off the cookies as I want them. It is a great to always have them on hand for unexpected company and for when I need a treat. I know lots of friends who like getting these so they can bake them off when they need a treat.  I just freeze the balls of dough, put them in a freezer safe container with layers of parchment paper in between each layer.  Include a small index card with instructions for baking.  Include a note:  If you are baking the cookies directly from the freezer, allow a couple of extra minutes on the cook time.  A great, fun gift!  Don’t forget to add a bow.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 3 1/2 Cups All-purpose flour
  • 1 1/4 Tsps. Baking soda
  • 1 1/4 Tsps. Baking powder
  • 2 Tsps. Coarse salt
  • 1 1/4 Cups (2 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 Cups Packed dark-brown sugar
  • 1 Cup Granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 1/2 Tsps. Pure vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup Jumbo semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 Cup of dark chocolate covered raisins
  • 1 Cup of toasted walnuts chopped

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a large bowl, using an hand mixer, beat butter and sugars on medium-high until light and fluffy, 6 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low and beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in vanilla. Mix in flour mixture just until incorporated; fold in chocolate chips, chocolate covered raisins and chopped nuts.
  • Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, drop dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Arrange 3-5 unbaked cookies, 3 inches apart, on each of two parchment-lined or silpat lined baking sheets.  The cookies will spread so leave plenty of room between cookies and bake in batches if necessary.
  • Bake until edges are light golden brown, 16 to 18 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer cookies to a wire rack and let cool.
