So something pretty great is happening this glorious Friday, friends. It’s called PBJ in cookie bars form. With streusel. And easily enough glaze to swim in.

And I’m about THIS close to just breaking down and having one for breakfast.

Since it’s Friday I probably can? Probably. Maybe 5?

Actually it’s a solid yes to 5. Don’t even think about consuming any less than that.

So here’s what we’re doing to make the cookie bars of your dreams soon become a reality, y’all. It’s quick and fast, because hey, it’s Friday and I don’t know about you but baking usually takes a back burner on Fridays to make way for the chill time.

It’s always better though if that said chill time includes some sweets right? Always.

Firstly, it’s crust time! It’s a standard peanut butter cookie crust that ALSO doubles as the topping. Strawberry jam goes in the middle, oats get mixed into a reserved 1 cup of the crust to make things crumbly. Smash it all together in one pan and you’re ready for the oven. It’s as basic as that.

Glaze is basic too but it always makes everything better right? Yes.

You know what else makes these bars better? A latte with your multiple helpings of pbj cookie bars. I mean, technicaaaaaaaaally, you should probably consume these with milk nearby, but I traded in my milk for coffee when I was like 12 and never looked back.

Also, at this point in time…I’ve lost count of how many PBJ cookie bars I’ve consumed/have yet to consumed. No worries.
