by Pam on September 18, 2012 I wanted to make a special treat for the kids today but I didn’t want to go to the
store. I finally found this recipe on Andrea Meyers[1] site that wasn’t filled with sugar and butter and used whole wheat flour and oatmeal to make these bars tasty and sweet while being a little bit healthier. They were fun and easy to make and they put a huge smile on both of my kids faces. Preheat
the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray. Cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together with a mixer until creamy and smooth. Add the egg, peanut butter, and vanilla and beat until creamy and well combined. Combine the oatmeal, whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Add the oatmeal mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. The filling will be sticky so wet your hands to pat the dough down into the pan. Place into the oven to bake for 15-17 minutes or until golden brown. While the cookie base is baking combine the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk together until well combined. Place the mixture
into a small ziplock bag and seal. Remove the cookie base from the oven and pour the chocolate chips on top while it’s still hot so the chocolate chips will melt and ooze all over the cookie base. Cut a small piece out of the corner of the bag filled
with the glaze then drizzle the peanut butter glaze on top of the chocolate chips. Allow to cool before cutting into bars and serving. Enjoy. Print[2] Yield: 8 Prep Time: 10 min.

1 1/2 cup Peanut butter, creamy 1 1/2 cups All-purpose flour 1/2 cup Butter-flavored shortening Why do you put fork marks in a peanut butter cookie?Peanut butter cookie dough is denser than a lot of other cookie doughs. Putting the hash marks in the cookie dough balls actually flattens them for more even baking. Without being pressed, the cookies will not cook evenly.
Why are my peanut butter cookies dry?Reasons why peanut butter cookies are dry and crumbly:
You cooked them a wee bit too long. Peanut butter cookies can be extremely deceiving. They don't always look cooked when, indeed, they are fully cooked. They won't get brown around the edges.
Why are my peanut butter blossom cookies falling apart?Lack of enough liquid or fat will make the dough dry and if you proceed to bake the cookies anyhow it will crumble and fall apart. You can save the recipe by add some oil or milk and make it into a soft dough and proceed with the recipe as usual, you'll be fine.
Why do peanut butter cookies have a crissPeanut butter is a pretty dense ingredient. When you add it to cookie dough the cookies will bake with this density. Adding the criss-cross pattern or "hash marks" to your cookies allows them to bake evenly. This will give you a crispy exterior around the edges and a chewy interior where the hash marks are formed.
