Peanut Butter Bars

These are amazing and delicious bar cookies. I always get SO many compliments when I make these. Be careful, they go FAST, despite the fact that this recipe makes so many!

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Yields: 40 bars

Ingredients

• 1  cup butter
• 1  cup sugar
• 1  cup brown sugar
• 2⁄3 cup peanut butter (I use creamy)
• 2  eggs
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 2  cups flour
• 2  cups oats (old fashioned or quick cooking)
• 1  teaspoon baking soda
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

• Frosting

• 3  cups powdered sugar
• 4  tablespoons  cocoa
• 4  tablespoons  soft butter
• 2 -3  tablespoons milk
• 1  teaspoon vanilla

Directions

1. Cream butter and sugars.
2. Mix in peanut butter, eggs and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl combine flour, oats, baking soda and salt.
4. Combine two mixtures together.
5. Press evenly into a 15x10x2 cookie sheet (jelly roll pan).
6. Bake at 350°F for 15-18 minutes (till golden brown).
7. Mix the frosting ingredients together.
8. Spread the frosting over the warm bars.
9. Occasionally the frosting will be a little hard to spread. When this happens, I add either milk, or I microwave the frosting for 10-20 seconds and it is a lot easier to work with.
