Loaded Peanut Butter Cookie Bars
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Baker's Extract)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 6 peanut butter cups, chopped
- 2 Butterfinger bars, chopped
- 1/2 cup Reese's Pieces
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil and spray the bottom and sides with baking spray. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, cream together the butter, peanut butter and brown sugar on medium-high speed. Mix until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time into the butter-sugar mixture. Add the vanilla extract and salt. Mix until ingredients are combined, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Change the mixer to low speed and add in the flour and salt. Mix until barely combined. Remove the bowl from the mixer and fold in the peanut butter cups, Butterfingers and Reese's Pieces. Spread the cookie dough into the prepared pan.
Bake bars in 350-degree oven for 20-22 minutes, or until the edges are light brown. Bars may look under done, but they continue to bake as they set. Remove bars from the oven and let set in the pan on the counter for several hours (or overnight) before cutting into squares.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Bars stay fresh for several days.
