Cookie Recipe #22

Vanessa shares some scrumptious cookies....
My childhood favorite would have to be Peanut Butter Finger Bars. Simple enough so that children can help, which is how I learned to bake (a great way to teach fractions) and it requires only two bowls and one baking pan.

Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, room temperature (will make it easier to cream)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1/3 cup peanut butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup flour
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup peanut butter
2 to 4 Tablespoons milk

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Baking Time 20 to 25 minutes.

Directions:
Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Blend in egg, peanut butter, soda, salt, and vanilla. Add flour and oats -- mix well. Spread in buttered 13- inch by 9inch inch pan. , bake until lightly browned. Sprinkle immediately with chocolate morsels, then let stand 5 minutes to melt. Spread chocolate over cookie crust and let cool.
Combine the powdered sugar, 1/4 cup peanut butter, and enough milk to make a drizzling consistency. Mix well. Drizzle evenly over bars.

*To make it easier to drizzle pour mixture into a sandwich bag, twist, snip end and use like a pastry bag.

Hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving Day had a good one.
