Heath Bar Cookies – They’re Nice to Have

Heath Bar Cookies
Relationships, or more specifically, boyfriends, are a little bit like cookies.

I don’t need a cookie. Really, I don’t. I could go an entire lifetime without ever eating another cookie.

But if there’s one right in front of me, I’m not not going to eat it. I mean, they’re nice to have, especially a really good one.

Heath Bar Cookie Ingredients

2½ cups all purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup granulated sugar
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups coarsely chopped Heath, Skor or chocolate covered toffee bars

Heath Bar Cookie Directions

Preheat oven to 350.

Sift together flour, salt, and baking soda.

Cream softened butter, sugar and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.

Stir in flour mixture until well combined. Fold in chopped Heath candy bars.

Chill cookie dough for at least 30 minutes, up to overnight.

Scoop 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, gently form into a ball shape, and place on ungreased cookie sheet, dough balls about 3 inches apart.

Bake 10-12 minutes, checking after about 8 minutes for browned edges.

    That is one of the best analogies I have heard in a long time!

    Does the same go for 23-year-olds?

    emily: thank you :) i think food as a whole is a metaphor for my dating life :D

    diana: YES! i do believe 23 would be the perfect peanut butter cookie for you!

    unfortunately for me 23 is below my “half-my-age-plus-seven” age floor, which basically makes a 23-year-old a giant truffle for me. a luxury in which i won’t indulge.

    I don’t think I could go my whole life without another cookie… or a…
    but you are SO right.

    I think if I get a present I am not keen of this year I will just say “it’s nice to have”

    These cookies turned out wonderful!! we ended up cooking them for about 15 minuntes instead of the 10-12, but they were so chewy and perfect when they came out. We also added a 1/2 pecans which gave the cookies really nice texture and crunch! thanks for the recipe :)

    I made these and to quote my son, “these are the best cookies you have ever made.” soft in the center, bit of a crunch on the outside. Awesome.

    I just finished baking these off. YUM……very good. I wanted to leave the dough in the fridge overnight, like my chocolate chip cookie dough. However, time was not on my side. So, I ended up leaving them in for around 5 hours. The are the perfect height with minimal spread. They’re definitely nice to have. Thanks!
