simply all mixed up and
pressed into a pan to yield a
nice chewy sweet.

When they're hot out of
the oven you can mark the
squares, or bars, and then
after the pan cools you
actually cut through and lift
out. This CALIFORNIA
BAR is hke that, a very
generous recipe that gives
you 50 to 60 pieces, and the
bars freeze well. You need a
BIG pan 9” x 13” (228.6mm x
330.2mm)!

oven to 350F
(180C) and measure out 3
cups (750mL) of flour into a

“bow!, using a fork to stir in

22 tspns. (12.5mL) of
baking powder and | tspn.
(SmL) of salt.

Measure 2/3 cup (168mL)

of margarine (remember
Archimedes?) and melt it in
a large pot. Add to it 2%
cups (560mL) of brown
sugar. Now mix it well and
beat up 4 eggs and add them,
too, along with a big
package (12.02z.-340.2 g) of
chocolate chips. Str it all,
and stir in 2 tspns. (10mL) of
vanilla. I'd add 1 cup
(250mL) of nuts, and some
wheat germ.

You'll need no workout in
the gym to-day after you get
all that flour mixed in, but

a tooth-pick in the middle —
if it comes out clean, bring
the pan out. If it still shows
some sticky matter, leave it
for another five.

It’s a little extra if you roll
these bars, or fingers, in
icing sugar which you've
spread on some waxed
paper. Means you'll have to
vacuum oftener, but it's
worth it.

ROLLED cookies are a
great bore, 1 view, but
when they're ROLLED AND
FILLED, well, they're

has all disappeared and been
absorbed. Grease the
monster pan,-“press your bar
mixture all down into the
corners, and bake for 25
minutes.
