Mrs Claus gives you a cookie Bar recipe that you can try with mom's help

Ingredients

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

3/4 to 1 cup butter, softened (to tast)

3/4 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 large eggs

1 (12 ounce) package Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

Directions

PREHEAT the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jelly roll pan.

COMBINE flour, baking soda and salt in small bowl. Beat butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla extract in large mixer bowl. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in morsels and nuts. Spread into greased 15 x 10-inch jelly-roll pan.

BAKE for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Cool in pan on a wire rack, then cut into bars.

Hint: If you want chewy bars, heat for 5 minutes less. You can also use a cookie cutter to make wonderful shapes
