Delicious bars with chocolate chips and brown sugar.

Ingredients:

• 1 stick butter or margarine (4 ounces), room temperature
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 egg
• 1 cup flour
• 1/4 tsp baking powder
• 1/8 tsp baking soda
• pinch salt
• 1/2 to 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup (about 8 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips

Preparation:

Cream together the butter and brown sugar; beat in egg. Stir in flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir in nuts and chocolate chips. Spread batter in a greased and floured 7- X 11-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. These brown very quickly, so be sure to start checking at the 20 minute mark.
