I tried this recipe today; chilled the dough for 45 minutes and used a 2 oz scoop. I substituted 1/2 cup raisins and 1/2 cup craisins (toasted the pecans too), The bake time is too long-I would take them out at 15 minutes tops. I ended up with 20 cookies and they were large cookies.
Perhaps chilling the dough would work out to be better. The batter was thin. 'Thought perhaps the amount of flour should be increased. Delicious flavor.
These really are ne plus ultra. The best cookie I've ever baked, bar none.
This is a GREAT recipe! I get 18 cookies per batch ~ and only cook about 12 minutes.
these are delicious! dough should be refrigerated before rolled into balls.
this recipe needs to give a yield
A cup is 250ml if that helps you!

A cup is 8 oz a mug would be too much. A china teacup that sits on a saucer usually is 6 oz if that helps you any.
could someone tell me what size cup i need? is it a mug size or a teacup, i'm from england and we dont usually measure in cup size.

what is "Ne Plus?"
There's a mistake, it's "Nec Plus Ultra" which means "the very best".

I thought ne was referring to Nebraska!!
FYI "ne plus" in French means 'not any more" !!
In fact, it should be "nec plus ultra".
How many does it make?
To wherearemyglasses-Ne plus means nothing better or beyond compare in french.
uhhh what does Ne Plus mean.....???
I have made these several times with great success. Last weekend I made them with chopped dates instead of raisins and they were WONDERFUL!!
I recommend cutting the baking time down to around 15 minutes. My first batch was burned and hard, but after cutting down the baking time, they turned out chewy and tasty.
