Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For Sugar Cookie Dough Layer: Press sugar cookie dough into bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish that's been lined foil and sprayed with cooking spray.
- For Double Chocolate Cookie Dough Layer: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Slowly add eggs and vanilla until well combined.

- For Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Layer: Place all ingredients into a bowl and mix until combined. Press over chocolate cookie dough.
- For Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layer: In a stand or electric mixer cream the butter and sugars until well combined. Beat in eggs and vanilla until combined. Place flour, baking soda and salt into a large bolw; mix to combine. Slowly add to wet ingredients along with chocolate chips. Spoon 1/2 of the dough evenly over peanut butter cookie dough but don't press, just leave uneven. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until center of dough is cooked mostly through. Edges will be brown. I covered pan with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
- Let cookies cool completely. Lift out of pan with edges of foil. I cut off 1/2 inch edges and just used softer centers, but do as you wish. Edges are crispier. Drizzle top with 1/2 Cup melted chocolate chips if desired.
