Chewies

This is one of those recipes that I married in to. My mother-in-law makes these delicious bar goodies frequently and has made a fan out of me! To describe them, I would say they are like a chocolate chip cookie in bar form, but they have more of a blonde brownie texture to them rather than a cookie feel. They are SO easy to whip up and they feed A LOT! What's not to love about these?!

Here's what you'll need:

1 C. (2 sticks) butter

3 C. brown sugar

5 eggs

3 1/2 C. flour

1/2 t. salt

1/2 T. baking powder

1/2 T. vanilla

2 C. chocolate chips

1 C. nuts, chopped (optional)

Cream together butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and eggs.

Add dry ingredients. Mix well.

Add chocolate chips and nuts. I don't do nuts, so there aren't any in mine.

Bake on a rimmed cookie sheet (jelly roll pan - about a 13"x18" pan) @ 350 for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

These goodies really live up to their name - they are nice and soft and CHEWY! Yum, yum, yum!! Give them a try!
