I found this recipe years ago in a Family Circle magazine. It has been a favorite. I make it when I take a meal to someone, because it is quick and easy to package. It is also great for school lunches and trips to the beach.


1 1/4 c. Flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/2 c. butter, softened
2 eggs
1 1/4 tsp vanilla
1 1/4 c. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped walnuts

     Heat oven to 350.  Coat 8x8 glass baking dish with cooking spray, set aside.
     Mix flour, baking powder and salt in a small bowl, set aside.
     Combine sugars and butter in the bowl of an electric mixer. Cream, using paddle attachment  until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time. Add vanilla, mix to combine.
     On low speed, slowly add in flour mixture. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts.
     Spread into prepared dish.
     Bake for 45 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
     Cool completely. Cut into squares.
