SO EASY PAN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray 8 X 8 square pan with cooking spray. ( I use a Gladware ovenware pan).
• Thoroughly stir together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter on high for 1 minute. Add brown sugar and stir well. Stir in the egg and vanilla and beat 15 strokes with a mixing spoon.
• Add flour mixture to sugar mixture and stir just until mixed. Mixture will still be very warm so let it cool for 5 minutes. Stir in chips.
• Sometimes I stir in a teaspoon of cinnamon just for kicks.
• Bake for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean and bars appear set (edges will be brown).
• Let cool for about 20 minutes. Slice into 16 bars.
• Makes 16.
