I was surprised to find that I could make these bars in the microwave. This comes in handy during the summer when you don't want to heat up the house. Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine, softened |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 1/4 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (6 oz) |
1/2 cup walnuts (optional) |
Directions:
1. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and brown sugar.
2. Add egg, milk and vanilla; mix well.
3. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture.
4. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and walnuts (if using).
5. Spread into greased 8-inch square microwave-safe dish.
6. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.
7. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 5 minutes or until bars test done, rotating a quarter turn each minute.
8. Cool before cutting.
