Time 2h15m

Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (18 ounce) roll refrigerated peanut butter cookie dough
1 1/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup cream or 1/2 cup half-and-half

Steps:

  • Preheat the to 350°F and prep a 13x9-inch pan with cooking spray (bottom only).
  • Prepare 6 1-inch balls of dough and flatten on a cookie sheet.
  • Press the rest of the cookie dough in the 9x13 pan. Bake the cookies and the crust for 10 minutes or until the cookies are just done. Cool both. Set the cookies aside.
  • In small bowl, melt the chocolate chips and butter uncovered in the microwave on medium-high heat, stirring every 15 seconds until the chocolate is melted and combined with the butter. Spread on the crust. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until firm.
  • Beat cream cheese, peanut butter, powdered sugar and cream until blended. Then, beat on high speed about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Spread over the chocolate layer.
  • Crumble the reserved cookies coarsely. Sprinkle over the cream cheese layer and sort-of lightly press them into the cheese. Refrigerate another 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator.
