Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Bars
There is really no other reason for making these other than that they are classic flavors and easy to make, and I was way over due to make something. This week has been crazy, and these were the quick and easy solution to my long week.
Ingredients:
1 package refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough (makes 24 cookies)
1 Cup creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 Cup cream cheese frosting
1 Tbs oil (I used Olive because I had it on hand, but vegetable works great too)
1 bag milk chocolate chips
sprinkles
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and grease 9 x 13 inch baking dish. Press cookie dough into bottom of pan, and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. note: when pressing dough into pan, the layer will seem very thin, but the cookies will get much thicker as they bake. If however you want a thicker bar, use an 8 x 8 inch pan.
2. While the cookie layer cools, mix peanut butter, frosting, and oil in a bowl. Spread the peanut butter mixture over the warm cookie layer. This may be difficult, and using a little oil on your hands will help you to press the peanut butter layer down, without getting all over your hands. Spread evenly.
3. Pour chocolate chips into microwave safe dish, and melt in microwave on high for 45 seconds, and then 10 seconds after that as needed. Be sure to stir the chips every 15 seconds or so, and do no burn them by over microwaving them. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread evenly.
4. Sprinkle with candy coated chips, sprinkles, peanuts, etc, as desired for decoration.
5. Chill bars in refrigerator and when completely cooled (about 1.5 hours) cut into squares.
Enjoy!
