This recipe was given to me nearly 50 years ago, at a company picnic, and it's our family's favorite dessert. Now my grandchildren bake it for their families. When each of our three sons got serious about a girl, sure enough, I'd get a call from a young lady requesting his favorite dish . I always gave the girls this recipe. Ingredients:
2/3 cup shortening |
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar |
2-3/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
3 eggs, beaten |
1 tablespoon vanilla extract |
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips |
1 cup chopped nuts |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, melt shortening over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar. Cool slightly. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add gradually with eggs to shortening mixture. Stir in the vanilla, chips and nuts (batter will be very stiff).
2. Spread into a greased and floured 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes. Cut into squares while warm. Yield: about 48 bars.
