These Moose Tracks Cookie Bars are laced with gooey fudge and are filled with peanut butter cups!  They are the perfect cookie bar to enjoy with a glass of milk after a long day and the ideal treat to bring to your holiday festivities!   These cookie bars are easy to make and only require a few ingredients.

Where did the term Moose Tracks come from?

Moose Tracks is a flavor of ice cream.  The Original Moose Tracks product description is as follows, “vanilla ice cream with peanut butter cups and famous Moose Tracks fudge.”  These cookie bars are reminiscent of most tracks ice cream, as they bake up with peanut butter cups and are laced with hot fudge.  When you eat these Moose Tracks cookie bars, you will be reminded of your favorite pint of ice cream!

Here is a list of ingredients you need for these cookie bars

2 cups of All-Purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon Salt

One teaspoon of baking soda

1 cup butter. You can use salted or unsalted butter

1 cup of Brown Sugar

Two large eggs

One teaspoon of vanilla extract

1/2 cup of hot fudge – found in the ice cream topping department in the grocery store

3/4 cup of chopped peanut butter cups – or mini peanut butter cups.

Optional Ingredients: 

You can add pecans, sprinkles, white chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, caramel, or any other ingredients you like with your Moose Tracks ice cream.

Equipment needed 

9×13 baking pan

Parchment paper or Cooking Spray

Wire cooling rack 

Electric Hand Mixer 

Recipe note: You might notice no baking powder in the recipe.  I didn’t want these cookies to rise as much as a traditional chocolate chip cookie.  I wanted to keep these gooey and chewy on the inside with a golden brown crust on the outside.

Just follow these simple steps!

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream butter, sugar, vanilla, and eggs in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, stir flour with salt and baking soda.
4. Add the flour mixture into the giant bowl to make the cookie dough.
5. Chop up the peanut butter cups and fold them into the dough.
6. Line your baking dish with parchment paper.  Drop dough onto the baking sheet and spread it to fill the entire thing.
7. Microwave the jar of hot fudge and pour it randomly on top of the cookie bars.  Use a toothpick to swirl the fudge around in the cookie dough.
8. Bake cookie bars in the oven for 20 minutes.
9. Remove from oven, let cool, and serve once they have reached room temperature.

You will love the chunks of peanut butter cups swirled with fudge when you bite these cookie bars!  My family loved them!  These would make an excellent treat to gift to neighbors or teachers for the holidays.   You will love these yummy cookies!  You will want to make multiple batches!
