Lunch Lady Peanut Butter Cookie Bars Recipes

Steps:

• Bars:.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a large cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.
• Mix together dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
• Whisk together ½ cup milk, vanilla extract, eggs. Set aside.
• In a saucepan, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter and 1 cup peanut butter, bring to a boil. Remove from heat and slowly add flour mixture, followed by milk and egg mixture. Mix until well combined.
• Pour batter onto cookie sheet, spreading batter evenly to edges. Bake for 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
• Frosting:.
• In a saucepan, bring 1 stick butter and ½ cup peanut butter to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons milk and slowly mix in powdered sugar until well combined. Pour frosting over cake, spreading evenly to edges. Allow frosting to cool and set before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, cream together butter, sugar and brown sugar together.
• Add vanilla, eggs, and 1 cup of the peanut butter; stir to combine.
• Add oats, flour, baking soda and salt and mix until well combined.
• Spray a baking sheet (half sheet jelly roll pan that is approximately 17.8 x 12.8 x 1 inch) with nonstick cooking spray and spread out dough in an even layer.
• Bake for 15 minutes and remove from oven.
• Drop remaining peanut butter (about 1 1/2 cups) by very small spoonfuls (we use a baby spoon) all over on top of warm bars. Let set for about 5-6 minutes and gently spread when peanut butter has begun to melt. It will spread easily when the peanut butter has softened on the warm bars. Don't try to spread it while still thick.
• Then let the bars cool until peanut butter has set up.
• While cooling, mix together frosting ingredients with a hand mixer until smooth and spread on top of bars.
• Cut into bars and serve.

Steps:

• Line cookie sheets with waxed paper or cooking parchment paper. Spray large bowl with cooking spray; mix cereal and peanuts in bowl.
• Spray medium microwavable bowl with cooking spray; add peanut butter, butter and marshmallows. Microwave uncovered on High 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth, stirring after each minute.
• Pour hot marshmallow mixture over cereal and peanuts; stir until well coated. To form each cookie, drop mixture by tablespoonful onto waxed paper; place 1 Hershey's® Kisses® in center of each, and slightly press down. Repeat with remaining cereal mixture and milk chocolates. If mixture is hard to scoop, reheat in microwave on High 30 to 60 seconds.
• Cool completely, at least 1 hour. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
