Looks great, we are just waiting for it to cool to try it. I used kaylee605's advice and used the 11x7 pan. I think it really would have been to thin otherwise.

i thought it worked better in an 11x7 pan, made the cookie layer a little thicker. otherwise the peanut butter is a little overwhelming. also can be made without the chocolate drizzle, i didn't use it the 2nd time i made it. overall, everyone loved them and they were easy.

Love the idea, but.... when I went to put the peanut butter frosting on the cookie, it was too thick and would not spread. I popped the cookie, with lumps of peanut butter frosting, back in the oven for a few minutes and it still would not soften up. Practically tore up the whole cookie base trying to frost the thing.
