Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (175g) milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (150g) peanut butter cups, chopped
  • 1/2 cup (75g) chocolate fudge chunks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (225g) of unsalted butter and 1 cup (200g) of brown sugar. Beat together until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Then add 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar and continue beating until smooth.
  3. Add 1 large egg and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract to the mixture. Beat until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/4 cups (280g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure soft, chewy cookie bars.
  6. Gently fold in 1 cup (175g) of milk chocolate chips, 1 cup (150g) of chopped peanut butter cups, and 1/2 cup (75g) of chocolate fudge chunks.
  7. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  9. Let the bars cool completely on a wire rack before removing them from the pan. Use the parchment paper to lift them out easily.
  10. Cut into squares or rectangles and serve.
