Nothing better, indeed: Oversize and dense with chocolate chips, raisins, pecans, and more, these chunky cookies might just be the ultimate.

    Hello, just a little thing, the correct expression in French is "nec plus ultra", but the recipe looks great!

    I always add extra flour, a little bit at a time, when I make this recipe. When I follow the recipe exactly, the dough is way too runny. The extra flour makes it turn out exactly as it does in the picture.

    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.
