TAGALONG PEANUT BUTTER COOKIE BARS – LOW CARB KETO
The Girl Scout cookie favorite made into a healthy bar with only 6 ingredients and ready in under an hour. My Tagalong Peanut Butter Cookie Bars will help you resist cookie sale temptation.
Ever since I ate the last Tagalong Cookie from my freezer stash last month I’ve been wanting to make more. But they were a little time-consuming… I’ll admit it. Making the dough, rolling it, cutting out circles, baking the circles, making the peanut butter, freezing the peanut butter, and then assembling all the parts and coating them with chocolate. Time-consuming. But delicious. I knew I needed an easier method.

Ingredients
Shortbread Cookie Layer:
3/4 cups almond flour
3 tbsp Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet or my sweetener
pinch of salt
3 tbsp butter softened
1 tsp vanilla
Peanut Butter Layer:
1/2 cup peanut butter
3 tbsp Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet or my sweetener
1/2 tsp vanilla
Chocolate Layer:
3.5 oz 85% dark chocolate or sugar free chocolate chopped
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350.
In a medium bowl mix all the shortbread ingredients until combined. Press into the bottom of a square 8x8 baking dish.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Meanwhile, combine the peanut butter ingredients. If your peanut butter is cold you can microwave it for 30 seconds to soften it.
When the shortbread comes out of the oven drop little blobs of the peanut on top of it. Spread gently with a spatula. The heat from the cookie will help spread the peanut butter. Be gentle or the bottom layer can crumble.
Melt the chocolate in the microwave or double boiler. Pour over the peanut butter. Spread gently. Put in the refrigerator until firm. Cut into squares and enjoy!
