Except I made them as cookie bars rather than individual cookies.
Bars are faster, easier, there’s no dough to chill, they’re made in one bowl, and you don’t even need a mixer. I adapted my infamous blondie base recipe. With 30+ versions and counting, it never lets me down.
The bars are dense, soft, chewy, buttery, and have plenty of rich peanut butter flavor. It feels so good sinking your teeth into them. And of course each piece is topped with a Kiss.
