This recipe is from the 1973 Pillsbury Family Cookbook. Even though I've had this cookbook since the 70's, this is the first time I've made this recipe. Chocolatey, chewy, buttery, and sweet enough to make your teeth revolve - if that sounds like something you'd like, then these are for you. Oh, and easy, too!

CHEWY SCOTCH BARS

A variation of a Pillsbury recipe I've seen on 'Zaar. This one is adapted from Southern Living November '98 and results in a sweet, fudgy chewy brownie-like bar. I reduced the sugar a bit and added the coffee. I inadvertently doubled the chocolate chips so I am posting it that way. The original called for 15x10 jelly roll pan but I used a 13x9 and increased baking time by a few minutes- the result is a thicker bar but feel free to bake it in the larger pan- just reduce the baking time by 5-8 minutes.

  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set, as overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
