I love layered bar cookies and this one appealed to me because the use beaten egg whites instead of the more common condensed milk looked quite interesting. The resulting cookie is a soft thin blondie-like bar with with a gooey layer of chocolate topped with a crispy shell. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
2 egg yolks |
1 1/4 cups flour |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 tablespoons milk or 3 tablespoons water |
6 ounces chocolate chips |
3 egg whites |
2/3 cup brown sugar or 2/3 cup white sugar |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
2. Beat butter, sugars, egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until soft and creamy. Mix dry ingredients together and add into the butter-sugar bowl along with the milk. Spread evenly into 9 x13 pan. Sprinkle with a laer chocolate chips.
3. Beat egg whites to soft peaks, beat in brown or white sugar and vanilla. (Brown sugar yields a slightly more tawny flavor.) Fold in nuts (if using) and spread over the chocolate chips.
4. Bake 30-35 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.
