Instructions
0 Preheat oven to 350ºF. While preheating, be sure to read tips & tricks in post above for recipe success. 21 In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat the peanut butter ([adjustable]¾ cup) and softened unsalted butter (½ cup, i.e. 1 stick[/adjustable]) on medium speed for 20-30 seconds until combined. 26 Add in the light brown sugar [adjustable](¾ cup) and granulated sugar (¼ cup)[/adjustable] and continue beating on medium for another 20-30 seconds until creamy. Do not overmix. 22 While the mixer is on low, add in the egg [adjustable](1 large), extra egg yolk (1 large), vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), baking soda (½ teaspoon), salt (¼ teaspoon), and cornstarch (1 tablespoon)[/adjustable]. Stir until combined. Slowly add all-purpose flour [adjustable](1 ½ cups)[/adjustable] and mix until just incorporated. 24 Grease and line a 9×13 light-colored metal pan with parchment paper (I like to create a parchment sling, as shown in photos above, so I can lift the bars out of the pan to cut). Spread dough into an even layer in pan. 25 Press on [adjustable]12 Reese's Egg[/adjustable]s. You want to press them into the dough (so half the egg is covered) but be careful not to press too hard or they'll break. 27 Bake for 14-16 minutes at 350℉ or until edges are lightly brown and the center no longer looks wet. Allow the bars to cool for up to 30 minutes before cutting.View original recipe
