Ooey Gooey Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Bars




How about that, eh? Ooey and gooey. And chewy.
I made these for my dad and his golf friends, since they always skip lunch when they go golfing.
I had less than an hour left until my dad had to go, so I made these in a real hurry. 
Notice that they are quite underbaked. Problem? Nah.
They didn't even get to cool down before getting packed, which meant EXTRA gooey:)
These are the BEST peanut butter chocolate chip bar cookies I've ever made!
They have a slight crackling top, and the interior is very soft and moist. 
Every bite gives you a huge chunk of oozing chocolate and a killing smell of warm peanut butter.
I'll probably make these again... and again...and again... 
until I become a big, fat chocolate chip.

Makes 16 bars
Recipe adapted from Bakeat350

6 tablespoons unsalted  butter
1/2 cup peanut butter

Whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Set aside.
Cream the butter and peanut butter together until smooth. Beat in both the sugars until combined.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Make sure you scrape down the sides of the bowl.
