    Oh, a thought--I used stick oleo instead of butter, which I think spreads more than oleo. Also, some recipes for peanut butter cookies call for NO flour, and they are good, so 1 cup is fine. Just have oleo at room temperature so that it is not cold, but do NOT melt it. Be sure to measure carefully. Extra sugar can make them more liquid. Be sure you have chunks of candy bar, not all tiny pieces. If they are too small they will melt and not stay in chunks. Good luck!

    I've made these cookies twice. The first time was not so great, but I learned that you do not flatten the balls like for peanut butter cookies and you cook them until browning around the edges. Then leave them on the pan and let cool 5-6 minutes on the rack, then you can remove them from the pan with a spatula easily. They are scrumptious! I like them better than any other cookie, now! I only used the 1 cup of flour and had great results.
