Description
Soft, chewy, and crowned with beautiful crackled tops, these Peanut Butter Greek Yogurt Cookie Pie Bars are a bakery-style treat made simple. Greek yogurt adds tang and tenderness, while peanut butter provides nutty richness. Perfect for snacking, parties, or a sweet breakfast treat.
Ingredients
1 cup creamy peanut butter (unsweetened or natural, well-stirred)
¾ cup Greek yogurt (plain, whole milk for creaminess)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
½ cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
Powdered sugar (light dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat and Prepare
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang. Grease lightly.
Cream the Base
Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy (3 minutes).
Mix in peanut butter until smooth.
Add Wet Ingredients
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well.
Stir in Greek yogurt and vanilla.
Mix Dry Ingredients
Whisk flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Add gradually to wet mixture. Stir until just combined.
Add Chocolate (Optional)
Fold in mini chocolate chips.
Bake the Bars
Spread batter evenly in pan.
Bake 25–30 minutes until crackled on top and toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.
Cool and Slice
Cool 15 minutes before lifting out.
Slice into squares or rectangles. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
Do not overmix after adding flour—keeps bars soft.
Check at 25 minutes to avoid overbaking.
Use room temp eggs and butter for best blending.
Cool fully before slicing for neat cuts.
