== Description ==
I came up with this recipe for a friend who wanted to make a birthday cake for her husband, who loves chocolate chip cookies. The goal was to have a texture more like cake than traditional cookie bars, but still keep the cookie taste.
== Ingredients ==
* ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
* 1 cup plus 2 tbs sugar
* ½ cup brown sugar
* ½ cup peanut butter
* 4 eggs (separated)
* 1½ tsp vanilla
* ¼ cup dark rum
* 2⅓ cups pastry or all-purpose flour
* 2 tsp baking powder
* 1 tsp salt
* 12 oz bittersweet chocolate chips
== Directions ==
# Preheat oven to 350°F.
# Grease and flour a 12 inch square baking pan.
# Cream together butter, 1 cup sugar, and ½ cup brown sugar.
# Add peanut butter, egg yolks, vanilla, and rum.
# Beat well.
# In separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
# Add in batches to wet ingredients until just combined.
# Beat egg whites until opaque.
# Gradually add remaining 2 tbs sugar while continuing to beat until stiff.
# Mix ¼ of egg whites into batter and combine well (the whites will deflate).
# Gently fold in remaining whites and chocolate chips.
# Bake for 40-50 minutes, until toothpick comes out clean.
