Delve into the world of chewy delight with our Peanut Butter Lunch Lady Cookie Bars—a sweet escape into a world where chocolate chips are nestled in a bed of peanut butter and oat goodness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup 226 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup 258 grams creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 cup 220 grams packed light brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons 10 milliliters vanilla extract
- 2 cups 256 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon 5 grams baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon 2.5 grams salt
- 2 cups 160 grams quick oats
- 1 1/2 cups 270 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), and get ready to grease your trusty 9x13-inch pan for non-stick bliss.
- Start the mixer and cream together the butter and peanut butter until they're as fluffy as clouds. Rain in the granulated and brown sugars and watch them whip into a sweet frenzy.
- Drop in the eggs one by one, followed by a splash of vanilla, beating well to invite everyone to the flavor party.
- In a separate gathering bowl, the flour, baking soda, and salt mingle. Introduce them to the buttery peanut bowl gradually, and mix just enough to combine, like a friendly handshake.
- Gently fold in the quick oats, and let the chocolate chips join the mix, ensuring they’re well distributed, like confetti at a parade.
- Press this doughy dream into the pan, spreading it evenly with love and anticipation.
- Slide it into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. You’re looking for that golden edge of greatness and a center that’s set like your resolve to eat healthily tomorrow.
- Once baked to perfection, let them cool—if you can wait—then cut into generous bars. They’re best served with a side of smiles and tall glasses of milk.
Notes
If you're after a bit of texture, consider throwing in some chopped nuts to complement the peanut butter theme. A sprinkle of sea salt on top before baking can add a gourmet twist, heightening the sweet and savory dance on your taste buds.
