I chose this recipe because I wanted to take something over to our new neighbors that moved into the Cooper's house. What I know so far is they have twins and the husband just left on the Enterprise for a 6 month cruise. The wife's name is Bree. Has a desperate housewife moved in? I am anxious to talk to her to find out what she knows about the crewman that fell over board shortly after they were underway! She didn't answer the door when I knocked so I ended up leaving them in the door with a note with our phone number. I hope she's opened the door and found them by now. Today, I will try to get over there and introduce myself in person. I also sent the rest of the bars to Lenny's work. He said they scarfed them down in a hurry:)
CHOCOLATE CHIP BARS
1/3 cup shortening
1/3 cup butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal flour
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 pkg. (6 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate pieces
Heat the oven to 375* Mix shortening, butter, sugars, egg and vanilla thoroughly. Stir in remaining ingredients. Spreading ungreased pan, 13x9x2 inches. Bake 20 to 25 minutes. Cool, cut into bars, about 3x1 inch. Makes 32. (I used a pizza cutter)
I lined my pan with Reynolds Wraps new parchment/foil and should have taken pictures. I also had taken this foil to NYC and used it for THE Cat In the Hat - Hat cake. If i had posted the pictures and sent the blog to Reynolds Wrap, who knows maybe I could have become the next hot blog chef. Oh well....
