Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

These Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars are the Nestly Toll House chocolate chip cookie recipe spread in a baking dish and baked like brownies.

2 ¼ c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda

1 c shortening
¾ c sugar
¾ c brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
6 oz. chocolate chips (the original recipe calls for 12 oz, but our family prefers more cookie)

Mix flour, salt and soda.
In a separate bowl cream together sugars and shortening.
Add eggs and vanilla andstir.
Add flour mixture to the sugar mixture and mix well.
Stir in chocolate chips
Spread in a round or square cake pan
Bake 20 – 30 minutes or until golden brown in a 350 oven.
Let cool 10 minutes
Cut into squares and serve with a glass of milk.

Note: We use chocolate with natural vanilla flavor, not vanillin. Ghiradelli is not much more expensive than Nestle and does not have artificial additives.
