Peanut butter oatmeal cookie bars
So I changed the name a little because my great aunt called them just straight pb bars but it really is like a peanut butter oatmeal cookie, just in bar form instead of round. This recipe is from my great aunt and ever since I made it the first time, my family has demanded them over and over again. I didn't take any pictures so you will just have to trust me, they are delicious. Imagine a oatmeal peanut butter cookie. now imagine a layer of more peanut butter on top. And then, a layer of your favorite chocolate bar, melted and layered over the top of the peanut butter. I have not made them in a while and my family was giving me grief over it so I made these on Sunday. The batch is gone since I sent the last of the batch to work with my husband. Here is the recipe:
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
3/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oats
1 cup peanut butter (yes you will need peanut butter twice)
1 8oz chocolate candy bar, melted(I use symphony milk chocolate but it doesn't matter as long as you like it.)
In a large mixing bowl, combine butter, sugars, eggs, 3/4 cup peanut butter, salt, soda, and vanilla. Add flour and oats and blend well. Spread on a greased 10"x 15" cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven and spread with 1 cup of peanut butter. When cool, spread the melted chocolate. Cut into squares.
I will add that I do not have a 10"x15" cookie sheet so I use something else. it just makes the cookie part thicker and takes a little longer to cook. My husband also likes to put them in the fridge to keep the chocolate from melting.
Mods, I hope i tagged this right. I don't usually use them. let me know if i need to change them in anyway. Thanks.
