Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bars


I’ve tried the packaged Betty Crocker sugar cookie mix but didn’t care for it, so didn’t try any of the other flavors. A coworker brought in these peanut butter cookies -- they were nice and moist (peanut butter cookies can be dry) so when I asked her about them, I was surprised to hear that she’d used packaged cookie mix. So, Betty’s sugar cookie mix didn’t go over well for me but the peanut butter flavor is a winner.


Peanut Butter-Chocolate Chip Bars

1 pkg. Betty Crocker (or other brand) peanut butter cookie mix
oil and egg, as called for on the package instructions
1 cup chocolate chips
1 Hershey’s Special Dark chocolate bar, chopped (optional)

Make the peanut butter cookie dough following the directions on the package. Stir in the chocolate chips. Press dough into a 9x13-inch pan; sprinkle with the chopped chocolate, then lightly press it into place.

Bake the cookies (at the temperature called for in the package instructions) for 12-14 minutes or until the cookies appear done. Cool in pan before cutting into squares or bars.
