These were such a hit at a potluck I went to! It was last minute and I needed to take something to feed a crowd. Love that I didn’t have to scoop bars and I took the whole pan with me straight out of the oven! So easy! Came back, because i’m making them again today for another even!
Hi, Kelsey! Yay, I’m so happy to hear that everyone enjoyed them. And I totally agree — so super easy to make a ton of cookies at once. Thank you for sharing!
Not sure what I did wrong, but mine came out a bit dry.
Hi Anastacia! I’m wondering if your peanut butter was dried out?
