Peanut Butter Bars

By suekendrick

If you like peanut butter and chocolate together, then these bar cookies are for you!

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup butter
• 3/4 cup peanut butter, (I usually use chunky)
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
• 1 1/2 cup flour
• 1 1/2 cup oatmeal

Preparation

Step 1

Cream together the butter, peanut butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla and continue to mix. Add the dry ingredients a little at a time and mix well. This mixture will be very stiff, like a cookie dough. Spread onto an UNgreased cookie sheet with sides. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes. Don't over bake these. You want them to be soft. Let cool completely then frost with your favorite chocolate frosting or ganache.
