Peanut Butter Cookie Gooey Bars

My favorite peanut butter cookies made into a bar and filled with sweetened condensed milk and chocolate!

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup butter softened
• 3/4 cup peanut butter
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

Peanut Butter Cookie Gooey Bars

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• 1 14 ounce can sweetened condensed milk
• 2 cups milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13” pan with foil or parchment paper and spray with cooking spray.
2. Cream butter, peanut butter, and both sugars in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add egg, vanilla, milk, salt, and baking soda. Mix until combined. Slowly add flour and mix until dough comes together.
3. Press 2/3 of the dough in the bottom of the pan. The dough is very sticky so spray your hands with cooking spray first. It’ll look like you don’t have enough dough but spread it into a thin layer.
4. Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the bottom layer. Pour the sweetened condensed milk (SCM) over the chocolate chips. Try to give a 1/2 inch border around the edges where the SCM does not touch the edge of the pan. This prevents bubbling edges.
5. Spoon tablespoon drops of your remaining dough over the top of the SCM layer. Spray your hands again with cooking spray and gently flatten the dough with your fingers. I sort of spread the dough a bit while I was flattening. It won’t completely cover; you’ll still see the filling.
6. Bake for about 30-36 minutes, until the bars begin to brown on top.
