Nut Chocolate Bars

These are a chewy and surprisingly moist cookie.

2 cups unbleached flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup butter at room temperature
2 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups chopped nuts
1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Cream the butter and then add the sugar. While continuing to beat, add the eggs, vanilla, nuts, chocolate chips, and dry ingredients.

Spread in a greased 9 x 13 inch pan and bake for 30 minutes, or until done. While still warm, cut into squares or bars.

Makes about 3 dozen bars
