Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Recipe
Ingredients
3/4 cup butter (softened to room temperature)
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
1/2 cup overflowing chocolate chips (the overflow will be to sprinkle on top)
1/2 cup overflowing peanut butter baking chips (the overflow will be to sprinkle on top)
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and line a 9×13 inch baking pan with foil or parchment paper. If you’re using foil, spray it with a non-stick cooking spray; for parchment paper you won’t need to. In a stand mixer or bowl, mix the softened butter, sugar, brown sugar, eggs, peanut butter and vanilla. Next, slowly add the flour and baking powder into your mixture. Lastly, add in most of the chocolate chips and peanut butter chocolate chips until they’re just incorporated. Don’t overmix them.
Evenly spread the dough into your baking pan. Sprinkle the top of the dough with the extra baking chips of each flavor. Bake for 20-25 minutes (check with a toothpick to make sure it’s cooked through). Remove your pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely. Once cooled, lift the foil/parchment paper up and out of the pan and cut your bars on a flat surface. Enjoy!
