I had a terrible experience at a certain coffee shop that rhymes with “Schmarbucks” the other day. It was so bad that I had to walk out latte-less. I’ve never done that!
Hey “Schmarbucks,”the way I see it: If you’re unhappy at your job, PLEASE find another one! Life is too short to be hating what you do. Why do you think I’m not in law school right now? Or sitting in an office cubicle? I understand that sometimes you have to do what you don’t love to make ends meet, but at least be nice about it.

No, my post isn’t titled “healthy cookies.” These are by no means healthy. They’re actually HEATHy cookies… as in Heath candy bars. These cookies didn’t spread out much and strongly held their shape when being baked, so make sure you roll them into pretty dough balls. I imagine that these would be great for mailing because they’re quite sturdy. This is for the peanut butter/chocolate combo lovers out there, so thanks Bakerella for the recipe!
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, slightly softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 1/3 cup (8 oz bag) Heath Toffee Bits
- 1/3 cup chocolate chips
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together the butter, sugar, and peanut butter. Add in the eggs and vanilla.
- Gradually stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt until just combined. Stir in toffee bits and chocolate chips.
- Roll cookie dough into 1 1/2 inch balls and drop them on a baking sheet.
- Bake about 10 minutes.

I read “healthy”… I was tricked! But nevertheless these look very delicious!
What are Heath Toffee Bits – are they chewy or hard caramels?
Emily Matthews says
I think you forgot to put chocolate chips in the recipe, your pictures show the cookies with chocolate chips but the recipe doesn’t include them.
