Valentine’s Day Peanut Butter Cookie Bars

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup butter, unsalted, softened
• 1/2 cup peanut butter
• 1 egg
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup flour
• Valentine’s M&Ms
• Valentine’s sprinkles
• Reese’s hearts (about 6)
• White chocolate hearts (about 6)

Directions:

1.) Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees.

2.) In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, sugar, and egg until smooth.

3.) Beat in the flour until a soft dough forms

4.) Fold in the M&Ms.

5.) Spread dough into a greased baking dish or one lined with parchment paper. Firmly press the dough down. (I used a 9×9 baking dish).

6.) Top with sprinkles and add some more M&M’s on top.

7.) Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes. You want to remove it when the edges are golden and you can stick a butter knife or toothpick in and it comes out clean.

8.) Place on a cooling rack and allow to cool but not completely.

9.) Unwrap the Reese’s and chocolate hearts and press into the top of the cookie bars.

10.) Slice and serve!
