We play a big club system opening hand was

Jx Qxx AKxx AKxx

bidding went 1c 1h (truscott showing hearts and spades in 5/5)

Partner had

Kxxx Ax xxx QJxx

What is the bid?

If fact my partner doubled to show 8+ points, so now I have a dilemma

At the table the bidding went

1C 1H X P
2D 2H (asking for hearts stopper) P 3NT making

Any thoughts about what should happen

Normally, when the opps have bid (or implied) 2 suits, a cue bid is telling rather than asking. So perhaps your partner should have bid 2♠, and then you could bid 2NT (not 3NT, which should show a better hand unless you play that the jump denies slam interest).

I would probably just bid 1NT with your partner's hand, showing a GF hand with stops in both suits (unless 1NT shows something different).

3Nt should be set.
