Peanut Butter Cookie Brownies

Preheat Oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9 by 9 inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, leaving excess hanging over the sides for easy removal later. Brownie Batter: In a small pan over medium heat, melt butter and stir in sugar. Remove from heat and stir in eggs and vanilla extract. Set aside. In a medium bowl, mix flour, cocoa powder, salt, and baking powder. Stir the butter, sugar and eggs into the dry ingredients until just mixed. A few lumps are okay. Pour the brownie batter into the pan and set aside. Peanut Butter Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together vegetable oil and sugar. Then add the egg, vanilla extract, and peanut butter and mix well. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt and then add to the wet ingredients to form a dough. Drop tablespoon sized scoops of peanut butter cookie dough onto the brownie batter. Bake fore 27-30 minutes, then cool completely before cutting into bars.
