These cookie bars are the best ever. Just remember one of my very important instructions below ...the one that I've italicized for you. Don't even TRY to mix the flour, sugar and butter with your electric mixer. No. No. No. Say adios to the electric mixer if you do.
2 1/4 cups light brown sugar
2/3 cup shortening
4 eggs
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup broken nuts (optional)
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips
Cream sugar and melted butter.
Add eggs, one at a time, beating well.
Stir flour into sugar and butter mixture, a little at a time. Note: Do not use electric mixer.
Add nuts and chocolate chips.
Bake in a greased pan for 12 to 15 minutes @ 350 degrees.
Sprinkle with confectioners sugar.
Cut into squares when cooled.
