Chocolate Chip Cookie Peanut Butter Squares

Many years ago when I was still living at home with my parents, we went to a church function where these yummy treats were served.  Mom found out that Jane Eitzen had brought them and Jane graciously shared her recipe with Mom.  We've been making them ever since and they are a huge hit where ever I take them.  So easy and so addicting!  You can't just eat one!  

2 packages of Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough (large ones)
2 cups creamy peanut butter
3/4 cup powdered sugar


Preheat oven to 350.  Press one of the packages of cookie dough into the bottom of a greased bar pan.  Put the peanut butter and powdered sugar in a bowl and microwave for 1 minute to melt the peanut butter enough making it easy to mix the powdered sugar and peanut butter until smooth.  Spread peanut butter mixture over cookie dough in bar pan.  Take the other pkg. of cookie dough and crumble evenly on top of the peanut butter mixture.  Bake for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned on top.  Cool completely before cutting into squares.  If I'm in a hurry I refrigerate the bars so they set up quicker.  ENJOY!!!! :)
