Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cookie Bars

By srumbel

These Reese’s Pieces Peanut Butter Cookie Bars are a great treat that I have made about four to five times in the past several weeks. They are easy, chewy, delicious and oh so peanut buttery!! What is not to love!!
I also love using Reese’s Pieces in the fall because the orange, yellow, and brown colors obviously are the perfect fall color palette.

Ingredients

• 1/2 c. butter, softened
• 1/2 c. creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 c. granulated sugar
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2 t. vanilla
• 2 1/2 c. flour
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1/4 t. baking soda
• 1 1/2 c. Reese's Pieces, divided

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and foil and spray a 9x 13 pan with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter. Add the two sugars and mix until creamy.
Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing thoroughly.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt and baking soda and mix it into the peanut butter mixture in three additions, scraping down the bowl after each addition.
Stir in a cup of the Reese's Pieces. Batter will be thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
Press in the remaining 1/2 cup of Reese's Pieces in the top.
Bake between 18-22 minutes or until the edges are slightly browned. Do not over bake.
Allow to cool until slicing them into 24 bars.
Enjoy!
