I love a good bar cookie. Mostly because of how simple they usually are to make. You mix all the ingredients together and dump the whole thing into a 13 x 9 pan, bake for 20 minutes and you have delicious cookies without a lot of fuss.
So it comes as no surprise that my favorite "go to" recipe would be an easy bar cookie, made with my two favorite ingredients - chocolate and peanut butter. These little gems are easy to make. They don't take an outrageous amount of ingredients either, all of which I always seem to have on hand.
