A thick and chewy peanut butter oatmeal cookie bar that makes enough to feed a crowd!
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups regular or crunchy peanut butter
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1½ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups old fashioned oats
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup additional chocolate chips, or toffee bits, Smarties, Reese's pieces...anything you like for topping
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a large 10x15 baking sheet or jelly roll pan and set aside.
  2. Beat together the butter, peanut butter and sugars. Add the eggs, vanilla, and baking soda. Add the oats, salt and chocolate chips and stir again until well combined.
  3. Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared baking sheet and top with the additional chocolate chips, lightly pressing them into the dough. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the bars are lightly browned and just past looking wet on top. They will set further as they cool. Let cool completely before cutting into bars, or scoop out chunks while warm and serve with ice cream for a delicious monster cookie cobbler :)
  4. Store in the fridge or freeze for longer storage.
