I tend to be heavy handed with the candy bits, but other than that these cookies are perfect. In fact, when I take them into work, they are gone by 9:30AM.

This recipe came out well. I followed other posters' advice and doubled the Heath bits. I also put them in airtight containers as soon as they were cool, so they didn't get hard as others mentioned. Decadent and delicious!

Kind of disappointed in this recipe. The raw dough is pretty amazing. I would really suggest using a dough that produces a softer cookie and use double the candy bar quantity. This would make the cookie a true Martha Stewart cookie!

mommcats, the postal service has flat rate boxes that would be perfect for shipping goodies. Doesn't matter how much it weighs, it's one flat rate. They now have a couple of sizes available at the flat rate.

Mommacats, just raise your eyes about 3/4 inch up the page and you'll see that there already IS a feature on "Best Cookies for Shipping." Linked to it is a whole series of tips on how to ship, as well. Sometimes it's a good idea to search before making a request.

I too would love to see a collection of goodies that can bne sent to military members by mail. My son is stationed in the U.S., but still loves to receive (and so do his fellow sailors) my home made goodies. I try to get them straight from the oven to the packaging to the post office, but sending overnight is costly, so I just package as well as I can and send priority mail.

this is also my new favourite cookie recipe. in south africa we have a candy bar called Rolo's, so i used them and it came out great. the best is when you dip the cookie in hot coffee and the little chocolate/caramel bits go all soft and melty

I just made these for the third time but this time used natural P.B. from Trader Joe's (organic) that had a lot of separation. It did not come out as well as when I used PB that does not separate... much drier

I just made Martha's peanut butter cookies and now I wish I had made these! I'm sending the cookies to a friend stationed in Afganistan who loves peanut butter. I put the cookies in a vacuum sealed bag and am hoping they will be good when they get there. With the chocolate in these cookies, I think they might get too gooey/melted. What do you think? Martha, I would LOVE for you to do a show on homemade items we could sent to our loved ones overseas.

You do not need the flour or the butter. PB has enough fat in it. 1c PB, 1c sugar,1egg - slightly beaten and 1 t baking soda. Cream PB and sugar, add egg and baking soda to combine. Add candy, bake 10 minutes until slightly golden. A great cookie without the flour (wheat
