Ingredients needed
The cookie dough is subtly flavored with peanut butter. I used regular store-bought smooth peanut butter. Natural peanut butter might be a little oily for this recipe so I would recommend using regular smooth or crunchy peanut butter (Skippy, Jif, etc) . I used raspberry jam but strawberry or mixed berry jam will also work.
Flour. All purpose flour or cake flour. Baking powder. Sugar. I used white granulated sugar but brown sugar can be used as substitute for a chewy result. Butter. I used salted but unsalted butter can also be used. Peanut butter. Large eggs. Milk. Salt. Raspberry jam.

Can I make these ahead?
The cookie bars can be made up to 5 days in advance and kept at room temperature in an airtight container. The dough can be made and frozen in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge then assemble the peanut butter bars according to instructions.
