Mrs. Foley's Cookie Bars Recipe
Recipe
1 cup chocolate chips
2 cups flour (optional substitute – ½ cup oatmeal for ½ cup flour)
1 cup butter or margarine soft, not melted
½ cup white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 tsp baking powder (optional)
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
1 Tbsp water
2 egg yolks
Mix all ingredients together (add chocolate chips last). This makes a very stiff dough. Press into a 9x13 pan – ungreased.
Icing: Beat 2 egg whites until stiff. Add 1 cup brown sugar. Spread onto cookie mixture and bake for 25-30 minutes at 325 degrees. As a test, toothpick will be sticky, but it will firm up when it cools. Do not overbake.
Memory
This cookie bar was brought to every carry-in dinner at church. You had to hurry to get a piece – it was so delicious! We always referred to it as Mrs. Foley’s and though she is in heaven now we still enjoy her recipe!
