Can-Do Cookies

My family has been making these as long as I can remember. I like this bar cookie because it is super easy and soft. -Marian Adamson

2 eggs

1/3 c shortening

2 teas. vanilla

1 c margarine

1 1/2 c sugar

2 teas. baking powder

1/2 teas. salt

3 1/2 c flour

12 oz chocolate chips (or any time of chip or chocolate you have around)

Cream together the eggs, shortening, vanilla, margarine, and sugar. Mix in the baking powder and salt. Add the flour. Stir in the chocolate chips. Press into a pan and bake at 350 degrees. It takes about 15-20 minutes for a shallow baking pan and about 25-35 minutes for a 9x13. Cookies should be firm, but not very brown or they will be dry.
