Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Nutter Butter Bars

Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars

This recipe is fast and easy to make! If you don’t have Nutter Butter cookies in your local store, just grab the closest thing you can find to a peanut butter vanilla type cookie. The finished cookies have a nice subtle peanut butter taste, combined with rich chewy chocolate!! YUMMMM YUM! The semi-sweet chocolate balances the sweetness of the Nutter Butters, and chocolate and peanut butter are made for each other. The cookie chunks are a wonderful contrast to the otherwise smooth, dense dough, and give the bars a serious dose of texture.

YIELD: one 8×8 pan, 9 to 12 generous squares

PREP TIME: 10 minutes

COOK TIME: about 30 minutes

TOTAL TIME: about 1 hour, to allow for cooling

INGREDIENTS:

1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick), melted
1 large egg
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
10 Nabisco Nutter Butter Cookies, coarsely chopped into about 6 pieces each, divided (another type of peanut butter- or vanilla-sandwich cookie may substituted such as Golden Oreos or similar; if using other cookies, use about 1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped cookies)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, spray with cooking spray; set aside.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl melt the butter, about 1 minute on high power.
  3. Wait momentarily before adding the egg so you don’t scramble it. Add the egg, brown sugar, vanilla, and whisk until smooth.
  4. Add the peanut butter and stir until smooth.
  5. Add the flour and stir until just combined, don’t overmix.
  6. Stir in most of the chopped Nutter Butters, reserving about 1/4 cup to be sprinkled on top.
  7. Stir in most of the chocolate chips, reserving about 2 tablespoons to be sprinkled on top.
  8. Turn batter out into prepared pan, smoothing the top lightly with a spatula.
  9. Evenly sprinkle the reserved Nutter Butters and reserved chocolate chips over the top, lightly pressing them down with your finger or a spatula.
  10. Bake for about 28 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center (if you can find a bare patch to test) comes out mostly clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Allow bars to cool in pan for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Sweetheart Sandwich Cookies

March 18, 2011 by

Preparation Time:  30 minutes
Cooking Time:  17 minutes

Servings: 36

Ingredients

Sweetheart Cookies

  • 1  Batch Classic Sugar Cookie Dough (see below)
  • 1/4 cup(s) (.5 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 jar(s) (7-oz.) marshmallow creme
  • 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract
  • 1 box(es) (1-1b.) confectioners’ sugar, (about 3.75 cups)
  • 1 tablespoon(s) milk
  • 3 drop(s) (red) food coloring
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) (semisweet) chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon(s) shortening

Classic Sugar Cookie Dough Recipe

  • 3 cup(s) flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
  • 1 cup(s) (2 sticks) butter, unsalted and softened (don’t use margarine)
  • 1 1/2 cup(s) sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Prepare cookie dough: In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar with a mixer at low speed until blended. Increase speed to high; beat until light and fluffy, 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low; beat in eggs and vanilla until mixed, then beat in flour mixture just until blended. Divide dough into 4 quarters; flatten each into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate overnight.
  2. When you’re ready to make the cookies, preheat oven to 350ºF. On a lightly floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll 1 disk of dough until slightly thinner than 1/4-inch thick; keep remaining dough refrigerated. Use 3-inch round cookie cutters or a glass to cut dough into as many cookies as possible; reserve trimmings. Place cookies, 1 inch apart, on 2 ungreased large cookie sheets.
  3. Bake until edges are golden, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer cookies to wire racks to cool. Repeat with remaining dough and trimmings, one disk at a time.
  4. Meanwhile, prepare marshmallow filling: With an electric mixer, beat butter, marshmallow crème and vanilla in small bowl until well blended. Gradually beat in sugar, then blend in 1 Tbsp. of the milk. Tint the filling pink using red food coloring. Add the remaining 1 Tbsp. milk if necessary for desired consistency.
  5. Spread about 1 Tbsp. filling between 2 cookies to make a sandwich, pressing the cookies gently together. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.
  6. Line cookie sheets with waxed paper. Melt chocolate chips and shortening in 1-quart saucepan over low heat, stirring often, until just melted and smooth (4 to 6 minutes). Dip half of each cookie sandwich into the chocolate. Place cookies on lined cookie sheets and refrigerate until chocolate is firm. Store refrigerated in airtight containers, with waxed paper separating layers of cookies.
