Outrageous Chocolate Chip Bars.

2000


 
        These never made it out of the Boy Scout troop meeting. I have orders to make more!
       
        1 cup of soft margarine or butter
        add 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
        add 2 teaspoon grated lemon rind and
        2 teaspoon vanilla
        beat in 2 egg yolks
        add 2 cups of flour (sift flour and then measure),
        1/2 teaspoon salt,
        along with 1/2 cup water
        add 12 oz. of semi-sweet chocolate chips
       
        Beat the 2 egg whites until stiff. Gradually add 1/2 cup brown sugar to the whites.
        FOLD this into the basic mix. Remember fold in not beat in.
        Line an 8-inch square pan with wax paper. Pour in the mixture.
        Trim any wax paper more than 1/2 inch above the batter line.
        Bake at 375 o F for 30 minutes - check with a toothpick in the center.
       
        You want this lightly browned and the tooth pick dry - except for chocolate.
        Cool before cutting.
       
        After turning out and cutting, sprinkle with confectioners sugar and chocolate sprinkles.
