RETRO SCHOOL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER BARS



Retro School Cafeteria Peanut Butter Bars image

It's taken me a while to find this recipe. There are many versions of "the peanut butter bar" but, I believe this recipe comes the closest to what I remember eating in the 1960's (via our elementary school lunchroom). Boy those ladies could really cook back then!

Time 1h5m

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 ⅛ cups white sugar
1 ⅛ cups brown sugar
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs
¾ cup peanut butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 ⅔ cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
2 cups powdered sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

SCHOOL CAFETERIA PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES



School Cafeteria Peanut Butter Cookies image

This is supposedly the recipe for the awesome peanut butter cookies that the East Penn School District cafeterias made from scratch each day when I was in school. With the revamping of the lunch program to promote healthy foods, they discontinued making these cookies sometime in the early 90s. I thought these were the best cookies ever. This makes a lot of cookies. You may need to use your hands near the end of mixing as the dough gets stiff. You can cut this recipe in half, but use 3 eggs.

  • Bake at 375F for 15 to 18 minutes.
  • (If you'd like to go the extra mile past what your school could probably afford to make for your lunches, you can take 1 cup of milk chocolate chips and put them on the surface of the peanut butter bars just after you've removed them from the oven. The bar) Let the bars it cool in the pan on a rack then cut into bars.
  • Enjoy!
  • Note: reduced fat peanut butter for this recipe is not recommended, as it might make the bars drier than you'd like.
