Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • For the brownie layer
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the peanut butter cookie layer
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 Tablespoons beaten egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 Tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, line an 8x8 glass baking dish with foil, then lightly spray with non-stick spray. Set aside,
  • First, make the brownie layer:
  • In a large bowl, add the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, salt, baking powder, and chocolate chips. Use a spatula to mix until well combined.
  • In a measuring cup, add in the oil then eggs, and vanilla. Mix up the wet ingredients with a fork.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir with the spatula until just combined.
  • Spread the mixture into the prepared baking dish and set aside.
  • Now make the peanut butter cookie:
  • To a large mixing bowl, add the butter and sugars and whisk until light and fully combined.
  • Add in the whisked egg and vanilla and combine.
  • Add in the peanut butter and stir with a spatula.
  • Add in the flour, baking soda, and salt, and mix until fully combined.
  • Use your hands to flatten pieces of the dough and lay on top of the brownie layer. Fit the pieces together, like a puzzle, until you have a fairly even layer covering the brownie batter.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the cookie layer is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 20 minutes then lift out the foil and cut into bars.
