Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat 14 Tbsp of butter (reserving the extra two for later), brown sugar, and peanut butter until well blended. Add in baking soda, eggs and vanilla extract. Beat until combined. Add flour and oats and mix until blended. Set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine sweetened condensed milk and 2 Tbsp butter. Heat over low heat until butter is melted. Fold in peanut butter morsels and stir constantly until melted and smooth.
Press 2/3 of cookie dough into bottom of baking sheet. Keep pressing with your fingertips, it will fit, honest!! Pour peanut butter mixture over top of cookie dough and spread evenly. Drop remaining dough by teaspoon over the top (will not cover completely, that's okay).
Bake for 25-28 minutes until browned. Cool completely. Cut and enjoy. Store in airtight container (best when chilled)!
Notes
If peanut allergy, substitute Biscoff for the peanut butter, and use white chocolate morsels for the fudge layer!
If you’re using a natural peanut butter brand, make sure it’s very well-mixed before using it in the cookie dough. It may alter the consistency of the finished cookie layer.
As you press the cookie dough base into your pan, press it into all the edges and corners. Try to ensure the bottom layer is spread as evenly as possible, so your cookie base has an even thickness throughout.
Keep your stove at a low temperature as you warm up the condensed milk, butter, and peanut butter chips. This helps avoid burning the bottom since the main goal is to melt everything together gently.
