I gave this 5 stars. My family loved these cookies. This is a yummy cookie mix. I made this for Christmas gifts 2 years ago to go with a homemade hot cocoa mix. I don't remember where I got my copy somewhere online but it says it makes 2 1/2 dozen cookies. I did not have 8 large Reese's cups so I used a bag of the mini Reese's cups and chopped them into 4 pieces. Thanks for posting a great recipe. Christine (internetnut)

These were good cookies and a really cute gift jar idea. I followed along as if I had received this in a jar and the dough was very crumbly. I'm wondering if that's because you don't first cream the sugars and butter. Maybe if the instructions said melted butter it would hold together a bit better, I'm not sure. They were tasty but extremely sweet. I got 31 out of the batch and only needed 10 minutes bake time. When I baked for 12 minutes, my cookies came out crunchy instead of chewy. Thanks for the cute idea!
