Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies

I try not to buy baked goods at the grocery store, most of the time the ingredient list contains things that you can't even pronounce. Last night Little Foodie and I decided to make a little sweet treat to enjoy after dinner so we made Chocolate Chip Bar Cookies adapted from a recipe found on allrecipes.com. They were so moist and yummy, Little Foodie was licking her plate to get the last crumb!!

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chocolate chips
• 1 cup of walnuts or pecans

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
2. In large bowl, cream margarine/butter, eggs and brown sugar. Add in milk and vanilla extract and mix well. Gradually add in flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until well blended.
