Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 28

1 Roll of Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Dough
Layer 2: Double Chocolate Chip Cookie
(the recipe below makes double what you'll need for the bars, use extra for cookies)
1 cup butter
1 cup white sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1 1/4 cups cocoa powder (I used Hershey's Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder)
2 tsps. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Layer 3: Peanut Butter Cookie
1 Cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 Cup granulated sugar
1 egg
Layer 4: Chocolate Chip Cookie
(the recipe below makes double what you'll need for the bars, use extra for cookies)
2 sticks softened butter
3/4 Cup granulated sugar
3/4 Cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla
2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 bag chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Layer 1: Sugar Cookie
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Press sugar cookie dough into bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish that's been lined foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs and vanilla until well combined.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients then stir in chips. Layer 1/2 the recipe over sugar cookie layer, pressing gently.
  • Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix until combined. Press over chocolate cookie dough.
  • Make sure oven is preheated to 350 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer cream the butter and sugars until well combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bolw; mix to combine. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips. Spoon 1/2 of the dough evenly over peanut butter cookie dough but don't press, just leave uneven. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until center of dough is cooked mostly through. Edges will be brown. I covered pan with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
  • Let cookies cool completely. Lift out of pan with edges of foil. I cut off 1/2 inch edges and just used softer centers, but do as you wish. Edges are crispier. Drizzle top with 1/2 Cup melted chocolate chips if desired.
  • *Note: You can layer dough and refrigerate until ready to bake. This is what I did and it worked very nicely.
  • large bars (if you cut off edges), 12 bars (if you keep edges)
