Peanut Butter Squares

I found this recipe in the same newspaper clipping that I found the two bean salad.   This is a great summer time "cookie".  It's fast and tasty!

1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chunky or smooth peanut butter
1/2 cup margarine, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
6 ounces (1/2 bag) of chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease a 8x8x2 inch pan.  In a bowl, mix together flour, baking powder and salt.  Set aside.  In another bowl cream together peanut butter, margarine and sugars.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  Add the dry ingredients.  Mix in the chocolate chips.  Spread in pan and bake 30 minutes.  Do not over bake.  There will be some carry over baking here!  .  Makes about 12 to 16 bars.

When, I made this often, years ago,   I would have Timmy grill some burgers, lightly toast buns and serve with the 2 Bean Salad on the side and the Peanut Butter Squares for dessert. 

Great Summer Supper!
