I made these cookies for the first and last time today. The caramel oozed out of the dough all over the cookie sheet. They were a pain in the butt to get off the pan. I will NOT make these again.

While cleaning out my Mother's things in 1989, I found a 1950's Curtiss Baby Ruth candy bar wrapper with the following recipe on it.

BABY RUTH COOKIES

Cream 1/2 cup butter, 3/4 cup sugar. Add 1 egg. Add 1-1/3 cups flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 2 Curtiss 5 cent Baby Ruth bars (cut in sm pieces). Chill. Drop by 1/2 teaspoonfulls on greased baking sheet. Bake 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes. (Yields about 75 cookies)

Note: The candy bars were probably the size of 1 lg Baby Ruth today, 2009.

In the '40's and '50's Curtiss Company marketed cookies under the "Baby Ruth" and "Butterfinger" names. To my recollection, these did not include pieces of the candy bars in them. The recipes for these original cookies is that which I seek.
