Couch Cookies

My mom made these delicious chocolate chip cookie squares over Thanksgiving. The recipe is from my godmother Nancy. So good!!

Ingredients
1 c. shortening
2 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. powdered milk
1 (12 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips

Directions
Cream together shortening and brown sugar; add eggs, one at a time and add vanilla. Sift together dry ingredients and mix well. Stir into shortening and sugar the dry ingredients and add chocolate chips. Bake in 10x15-inch pan for 30 minutes at 350˚. Do not over bake. Will be soft in the middle but should be golden brown. Cool in pan, then cut into bars.

p.s. I would have taken a picture to show you how delicious they look, but my family ate them too quick.
