Kraft Peanut Butter Cookie Bars Recipes

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
• Lightly spray a 9x13 inch (23x28 cm) pan non-stick cooking spray and then with parchment paper, leaving an overhang around the edges. Lightly greasing the pan first stops the parchment from sliding around.
• In a large bowl beat together the butter, brown sugar and white sugar until no lumps remain.
• Beat in the peanut butter until smooth. Then mix in the eggs and vanilla extract.
• Turn the mixer down to low speed and mix in the flour, baking powder and salt. Turn of the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
• Stir in the chocolate chips and peanut butter chips.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
• Place in the preheated oven in the middle rack and bake for 30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs. It may take anywhere between 25-35 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack to cool, keeping the bars in the pan. Cool for at least 45 minutes, or cool the pan is room temperature for clean cuts (what's pictured).
• To slice the bars, lift them out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and slice. Store cooled bars in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
