Reese's Peanut Butter Cookie Bars

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick, melted
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (and more for sprinkling on top)
  • 2/3 cup Reese's Pieces (and more for sprinkling on top)
  • 2/3 cup Reese's Peanut Butter Chips (and more for sprinkling on top)

Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.

  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
  3. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the peanut butter, egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the flour and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.

  5. Stir in chocolate chips, Reese's Pieces and Reese's Peanut Butter Chips.

  6. Pour batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.

  7. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until done. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Sprinkle evenly with additional chocolate chips, Reese's Pieces and Peanut Butter Chips. Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
