Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1-1/2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
- 2 large eggs
- 1 package peanut butter Nestle DelightFulls
- 1 cup mini dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, white whole wheat flour, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the unsalted butter and dark brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then mix in the vanilla bean paste.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- Gently fold in the mini dark chocolate chips.
- Spread half of the cookie batter in the bottom of the prepared baking pan, layer the peanut butter DelightFulls, then spread the remaining batter on top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Let cool for 10-15 minutes, then lift the bars out using the parchment paper and cool completely before slicing.
