Everyone loves easy chocolate chip cookies, but baking them in bar form means they are easily portable! Take the whole pan with you to your next potluck or family get-together.
12ozchopped semi sweet chocolateor a bag of chocolate chunks or chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a 13x9 pan with foil, grease or spray the foil. You can also use parchment paper.
Whisk together flour, baking soda and salt.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter, sugars, and peanut butter until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla until well combined. Turn mixer down to low and slowly add in dry ingredients. Turn off mixer and fold in chocolate.
Press cookie dough into prepared pan and bake 20-22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack in pan. When cooled completely, lift out by foil and cut into bars.
Notes
Lining and overlapping the pan either with foil or parchment paper gives you "handles", making it easy to lift the bars out.
These peanut butter chocolate chunk bars are actually a basic chocolate chip cookie dough with the addition of peanut butter. If you already have a favorite chocolate chip cookie recipe, compare yours to this, then add peanut butter in proportion.
