Original recipe was cut out and tried by Mama Fobes on January 1, 1963. Must be good if they’ve hung on to it all this time, huh?
2 2/3 cup sifted flour, 2 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 1/2 tsp baking powder, 3 eggs, 2/3 cup butter or margarine, 1 cup chopped nuts (optional), 1 16-ounce package of chocolate bits, 1 tsp salt.
Grease cookie sheet. Sift together flour, baking powder and salt. In large saucepan melt the butter, stirring in brown sugar. Let cool 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in flour mixture and chocolate bits until well blended. Spread in pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until center springs back when lightly touched. Cool and cut into squares.
