Peanut Butter Cookie Bars

I found this recipe the other day when looking for something to "fix" my chocolate and peanut butter craving.

Preheat the oven at 350 degrees and set out a 9 x 13 baking pan (do not grease the pan).

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla (I was out of vanilla but they tasted fine)
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup oatmeal
• 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips

frosting

• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 2 1/2 tablespoons milk

Directions:

1. Beat the butter and peanut butter for 30 seconds.
2. Add the sugars and beat until fluffy.
3. Add the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate chips.
4. Bake in a 9 x 13 pan at 350 for 20 - 22 minutes.
5. Remove from oven and sprinkle with chocolate chips
6. Let chips stand for 5 minutes then spread over the bars then let them cool.
7. When cooled, mix the icing ingredients together to a drizzling consistency. (I made mine thicker and put it in a pastry bag and piped it onto the bars)
8.Drizzle over chocolate layer and cut in to bars.
