I tried it again... I saw this Reece's cookie dough in the cooler at the grocery store.
There was a flavor in the Bcrocker mix I did not like. It got worse as the cookies aged. Don't know what that flavor was... in the south we'd say it had a 'whang' to it.
These from bought dough don't have that flavor. They are a lot better tasting...
There were 24 square pieces of dough in the pkg so I did 2 batches. Just put them on the pan and press with a fork. Ready in 14min...

Amazing! I get when the taste of some things is off. I am not one who likes to waste food, but sometimes the best place for some food is in the trash can.
They look great on the pan having more space between them, baking them in batches.
One of my clients gave me a container of cookies, sweets. One was peanut butter balls with rice krispies in the mix, dipped in chocolate. I decided that I wanted to make some, so I found this recipe.
