    Recipe Introduction


    My mom made these when we as kids wanted chocolate chip cookies and she was busy. I have seen another recipe called Blond Brownies, but it is not as good as these. Make sure you do NOT substitute butter or margarine for the shortening.

    List of Ingredients




    2/3 C. shortening (do not substitute margarine or butter)
    1 box brown sugar
    3 large eggs
    2 3/4 C. flour
    2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1 C chocolate chips
    1 C nuts (optional)

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt shortening and add the brown sugar. Dark sugar makes the bars darker, light makes them lighter - either is fine). Cool. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Sift and add to the sugar mixture. Add vanilla, chocolate chips, and nuts. Pour into 9x12-inch glass pan and bake for 30 minutes. Cool and cut into squares
