When you first bite into Peanut Butter Cookie Bars you taste honey sweetened peanut butter batter, melted chocolate chips and a hint of banana. Yes, banana! Mashed banana effortlessly replaces oil, butter and eggs in this recipe. Peanut Butter Cookie Bars are a wonderful, lower fat cookie treat.

Banana, chocolate, and peanut butter – talk about serious cookie deliciousness!

Before baking, the Peanut Butter Cookie Bars have a thick, cookie dough consistency. You’ll want to push the dough evenly into the baking pan, pressing it into all of the corners. This helps the bars cook evenly and gives them a smooth, uniformed appearance. Simply bake the bars and voila – you have a wonderfully tasty treat.
