These nicely textured bars are delicious. It's a good recipe for today's diet awareness, because there's no shortening used.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup shortening
2/3 cup butter or 2/3 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • (For a softer, rounder cookie, add additional 1/2 cup flour).

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the chocolate chips. The better the ingredients, the better the bars will taste.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
