Cookie Butter Brown Sugar Streusel Bars
"These easy and fast bars combine three things I love: Cookie Butter, brown sugar, and streusel topping. The bars are soft, tender and moist in the center with lots of chewiness around the edges. The streusel topping adds tons of texture to the smooth Cookie Butter and brown sugar interior. The flavors of cinnamon-and-sugar, and gingerbread cookies (that's what Cookie Butter is made from) are very pronounced in these soft, chewy, caramely bars. If Cookie Butter could get any better, pairing it with cinnamon, vanilla, and brown sugar is how...."
