I love cookies. I am not normally a huge fan of traditional candy type treats and sweets, but when it comes to cookies - I am a pushover. And when you get that craving for cookies, you want them now - not in an hour, or after the next shopping trip, but right now - fresh out out of the oven. The great thing about these is that they are not only fast and easy to make, but they use mostly what you already have on hand. I use dark chocolate chips because my husband loves them, but in the picture below I also tossed in a couple handfuls of butterscotch morsels for the holidays. I've also tried cinnamon chips, white chocolate chips, and chocolate mint bits. All have been delicious! One batch makes one square dish or one round pan dish of cookie bars, so you don't have an excessive amount laying around the house after to tempt you, just enough to satisfy that craving when you have it. Check it out:
1/2 cup Butter
1 cup Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1 cup Flour
1/4 tsp Baking Powder
1/8 tsp Baking Soda
A pinch Salt
1 cup Dark Chocolate Chips
1. Cream together the butter and brown sugar; then beat in the egg.
2. Add the flour, baking powder, and salt mixing well. Stir in chocolate chips until well blended.
3. Pour into a greased 8x8-inch pan and gently pat even with a greased spatula (greasing the bottom of the spatula makes all the difference here, that way there is no cookie dough sticking to it while you try to flatten).
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Check at 20 min (done when toothpick comes out clean when pierced in center).
