  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels
  • ½ cup butter melted, unsalted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 egg large
For the Cookie layer:
  • ½ cup shortening butter flavored
  • 2 Tablespoons butter softened, unsalted
  • 2 Tablespoons milk
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar packed
  • ¾ cup peanut butter creamy
  • 1 egg large
  • 1 ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 cup peanut butter morsels
  • 8 ounce peanut butter cups cut in half, Reese's mini; in bag

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. For the brownie layer, melt chocolate chips with butter for 1 1/2 minutes in microwave safe glass bowl. Stir until smooth. Add sugar, flour and eggs and combine completely.
  2. Pour into a 13x9 baking dish lined with parchment paper.
  3. For the cookie dough, beat crisco with butter. Beat in milk, vanilla, sugars, peanut butter and egg. Add flour, salt, and baking powder. Fold in peanut butter morsels and Reese's mini PB cups.
  4. Drop cookie dough onto brownie batter layer. Smooth evenly.
  5. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 35-40 minutes. Remove and cool completely. Refrigerate and cut into bars.

Notes

  • It's okay if the cookie layer still looks a bit soft when you take it out of the oven. It will continue firming up as the brookies cool down.
  • These Peanut Butter Brookies taste amazing served cold straight from the fridge. You can also let them come to room temperature if you prefer. They're delicious either way!
  • Use a clean plastic knife to slice the brookie bars for a perfectly smooth cut.
  • Store brookies in airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • Freeze brookies for up to 3 months. Thaw on counter overnight.
