Chocolate Chip Brownies

Sometimes I get lazy and instead of making cookies out the chocolate chip dough I just press the dough into a pan and make brownies.  I found this excellent recipe that tastes a lot better than my lazy chocolate chip cookie recipe turned bars.  I don't know what makes it so different but these are terrific.

1 cup sifted all purpose flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp salt

1/3 cup butter

1 cup packed brown sugar

1 egg

1 TBS vanilla extract

2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix dry ingredients together.

Melt butter.  Mix butter and brown sugar.  Add beaten egg, and vanilla and blend well.  

Add flour mixture, a little at a time, mixing well.

Spread in a square (9x9x2) pan.  Sprinkle chocolate chips on top.

Bake for 20 minutes.
