Peanut Butter Lunch Lady Cookie Bars (Page 2 ) | July 27, 2025

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Cookie Base

Preheat the Oven: Set to 400°F. Grease a large cookie sheet or line with parchment paper.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the milk, vanilla extract, and beaten eggs.

Melt Butter and Peanut Butter: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 cup butter and 1 cup peanut butter. Bring to a gentle boil.

Combine: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the melted peanut butter mixture. Then add the milk and egg mixture. Stir until smooth.

Bake: Pour batter onto prepared sheet, spreading evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.

2. Make the Frosting

Melt: In a saucepan, melt ½ cup butter and ½ cup peanut butter. Bring to a boil.

Mix: Remove from heat. Stir in 2 tablespoons milk, then gradually whisk in the powdered sugar until smooth.

Frost: Spread frosting over the cooled cookie base. Let set before slicing.

Tips for Success

Don’t Overbake: Watch closely to maintain moistness.

Cool Before Frosting: Prevents frosting from melting into the bars.

Smooth Finish: Use an offset spatula for even frosting.

Adjust Consistency: Add more milk if frosting is too thick, or more powdered sugar if too thin.

Variations

Chocolate Drizzle: Add melted chocolate over the frosting.

Crunchy Peanut Butter: For extra texture.

Nut Topping: Sprinkle chopped peanuts on top.

Layered Bars: Add chocolate chips between batter layers.
