I was requested to make a peanut butter dessert and the first thing that came to mind are peanut butter cookies. In my old age, I have decided that I do not have time for baking cookies. The repetition of dough on a tray, in and out of the oven, waiting to cool, repeat... no. I am a BAR cookie girl! So this peanut butter cookie gooey bar was the perfect recipe for the request. It is a peanut butter cookie with a chocolate and sweetened condescend milk layer and with more peanut butter cookie on top. When I was putting the dough on top I thought "this will never work.. there is not enough dough... there will be holes of melty, messy chocolate... I am a failure". Well, a miracle happened in the oven and the top layer spread and there were NO HOLES! After the bars cooled, I put them in the refrigerator to harden over night, resulting in easy cutting. It also helps that I used a giant pizza cutter, making for clean cuts (see below - I love this gadget for cutting bars). I served the bars at room temperature and they were indeed gooey but not in a messy way. The condensed milk and the chocolate chips mix together, creating a peanut butter and chocolate sandwich. Yum!!
