Directions:Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a 9x9” square baking pan with foil, grease with nonstick spray, and set aside. In a medium bowl, mix peanut butter, sugar, and egg until it becomes the consistency of cookie dough; add chocolate chips. Press in bottom of prepared pan until entire bottom is covered. Top with cookies, set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together and set aside. In stand mixer, cream butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla on medium until well combined, about 1 minute. Increase speed to high and beat 15 seconds. Stop mixer, scrape down sides, and add egg. Blend on medium 30 seconds. Add dry ingredients and combine on low-speed until just a few dry streaks remain. Scrape batter in prepared baking pan. Press batter into smooth even layer in pan and bake until light golden and puffy around the edges (center should still feel quite soft), about 28–30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes and then run a paring knife around the edge of the pan to release the bars. Cool for at least 2 hours before turning the bars out of the pan and onto a large plate. |
