How To Make p-nut butter choc chip dessert

Test Kitchen Tips

If you want a thicker cookie, we suggest using a 30 oz package of chocolate chip cookie dough. If they are going to be eaten quickly, they are good at room temperature. We suggest storing leftovers in the fridge.

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Press chocolate chip cookie dough into a greased 9x13 dish.

Step 2

Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool.
Step 3

Mix peanut butter and brown sugar with softened cream cheese.
Step 4

Spread on the cooled chocolate chip cookie base.
Step 5

Mix chocolate chips and shortening in a small bowl. Melt in microwave approximately 1 - 1 1/2 minutes.
Step 6

Drizzle melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Spread chocolate.
Step 7

Once the chocolate is cooled and hardened, cut into slices and serve.
