1 teaspoon soda

1 cup flour
1 cup oats
additional peanut butter
chocolate frosting
Cream butter and sugars together. Add eggs, vanilla, and peanut butter and mix. Mix all dry ingredients into above mixture. Spread on greased cookie sheets. Bake at 325 for 10 minutes (very lightly browned) When COMPLETELY cooled, spread with thin layer of WHIPPED peanut butter. (This is the step that separates these peanut butter bars from what the stores call the same. Throw creamy peanut butter into your kitchenaid with the whisk on and let it whip until fluffy - maybe 3 minutes - then spread over the top...yummy!) Frost with chocolate icing. (I get just the frosting from the store (in the can), but I warm it up in the microwave for maybe 30 seconds so that it doesn't pull the peanut butter off but kind of molds to it.
