Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups quick oats
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the peanut butter and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
Stir in the quick oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Allow the cookie bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
