Cookie Bars (aka Blondes with chips)

Cookie Bars or also known as Blonde's with chips

2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (I have used salted too and then omitted the salt in the recipe)
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups chips - your choice - I use a combination depending on my mood. The ones in the picture had milk, butterscotch and semi-sweet -- also could add coconut, white chocolate chips and pecans or combo of chips and walnuts - so many options with this recipe.



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 9 x 13 inch pan.
2. Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in small bowl.
3. Beat together butter and brown sugar in large bowl until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each. Mix in vanilla. Stir in flour mixture until well blended. Fold in chips and spread batter evenly in prepared pan.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched with finger tip. Cool pan on rack. Cut and serve.




They are so good....gooey goodness that goes straight to the thighs!
