Cookie/Meringue Layers:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray with baking spray or grease with oil.

  5. Add the softened butter and continue mixing until combined.
  6. Dissolve the baking soda in the vinegar. Add to the batter.
  7. Add the flour and mix until combined, being careful not to over mix.
  8. Divide the batter in half. Spread the batter out evenly on the prepared baking sheets.
  9. Divide the egg white mixture in half also and spread it evenly on the raw batter.
  10. Place into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Cool.
Making the Filling/Assembling the Bars:
  1. Cream the butter and dulce de leche until evenly combined.
  2. Spread half of the filling on top of one of the cookie layers.
  3. Place the other cookie layer on top of the filling, cookie side down.
  4. Spread the other half of the filling on top of the second cookie layer. Sprinkle the toasted, chopped peanuts on top.
  5. Melt the chocolate over a double boiler.
  6. Drizzle on top of the cookie bars. You can cut the bars into pieces first and then drizzle the melted chocolate on top or drizzle the chocolate first and then cut into bars.
