Oatmeal and Peanut Butter Chip Cookie Bars
These delightful oatmeal and peanut butter chip cookie bars are made in just one batch.
Making cookie bars is so easy when compared to making regular cookies because the cookie bars are all made in one batch.
The cookie dough is spread right onto a large cookie sheet and then goes into the oven to bake.
After the cookie bars are done baking, they need to cool for a bit and then the fun part is to cut them with a pizza cutter.
And the best part is, no additional batches to bake.
About the Ingredients
These cookie bars are made with dried blueberries, oatmeal and peanut butter chips.
The dried blueberries are a little bit chewy which adds nice texture to each bite.
Let’s check out the ingredients.
Oatmeal, dried blueberries, peanut butter chips, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, butter, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and baking powder

peanut butter chips.
Cookie Sheet:
Grease a cookie sheet with butter.
Cookie Dough:
Add all of the cookie dough onto the baking sheet.
Using a rubber spatula or large spoon, gently spread the cookie dough out evenly over the entire bottom of the cookie sheet.
Keep the dough about 1/8th of an inch away from all sides of the sheet.
Bake:
Bake in a preheated oven (at 350 degrees F.) for about 19 to 20 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven when the dough in the middle of the pan is still slightly soft.
Cool:
Let the pan sit on a rack to cool.
It should continue to cook a little more in the middle of the pan from the residual heat.
Cut and Serve:
After 20 minutes, use a large pizza cutter or knife to cut the cookie into bars.
Carefully remove the cookie bars from the pan onto a rack to cool further.
…then serve.
