Triple Layer Peanut Butter Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 large egg (lightly beaten)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
4 tablespoons milk

Preparation

Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together butter and peanut butter. Add sugars, vanilla and egg. Mix until combined. In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt and baking soda. Add dry ingredients in small amounts to wet ingredients. Once this mixture is combined, pat into a 9 X 13 in pan and bake for about 20 minutes.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over mixture in pan while it's still warm. As they melt, spread the chocolate chips evenly onto cookie mixture with a rubber spatula.
Cool in refrigerator for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together powdered sugar, remaining peanut butter and milk until the mixture reaches a smooth consistency. Spread the powdered sugar mixture over cooled cookie and chocolate bars in pan. Cut into bars.
