I received this recipe for monster cookie bars from a friend. These are wonderful. Wherever we take them, we always run out of them. You can’t eat just one, am I right?

My Family Loved these bars and I will be making them again for sure. Followed the recipe exactly as is. just make sure you let them cool completely before cutting.
These were a hit with family and coworkers. I brought the leftovers to work so I wouldn’t end up eating them all! The peanut butter flavor is subtle and the texture is nice and chewy, not too crumbly. These would be perfect to make ahead and freeze.
I got everything out to make this recipe but discovered I was alittle short on peanut butter. I did have a jar of cookie butter so I added enough to make the 1/3 cup (probably alittle over a tbsp) It was delicious!!! We have already eaten half the pan. Chewy and not overwhelmingly sweet, prefect balance. Yum!!
