Peanut Butter Cream Cookie Cake
Thick and soft peanut butter cookie cake.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Butter softened
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 1/2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1 Tbsp Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 cups Reese's Peanut Butter Cups roughly chopped
Topping
- 2 cups Reese's Peanut Butter Morsels
- 2 tsp Vegetable Oil
- 1-2 cups Reese's Peanut Butter Cups roughly chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- In a mixing bowl, with the paddle attachment, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for about 3 minutes or until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients - all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt. Mix until the dough comes together and is well combined.
- Gently fold in the roughly chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups into the cookie dough.
- Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan, creating a smooth and level surface.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Be careful not to overbake.
- Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. Then, using the parchment paper overhangs, carefully lift it out of the pan and transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookie cake is cooling, prepare the topping. In a microwave-safe dish, combine the Reese's Peanut Butter Morsels and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the morsels are completely melted and smooth.
- Once the cookie cake has cooled completely, spread the melted peanut butter morsels over the top as a delicious topping.
- Sprinkle the remaining chopped Reese's Peanut Butter Cups over the melted morsels.
- Allow the topping to set, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator, before slicing the cookie cake into wedges or squares.
