Complete post from earlier

In this morning's post, the recipe part didn't come through in total for some reason.  

Here is the recipe in total:

Since it is now "summertime" I thought I'd post a whole weeks worth of easy to make, "grab 'n go" treats.  Let's start with:

CHOCOLATE MERINGUE BARS

1 cup shortening

½ cup white sugar

½ cup brown sugar

2 egg yolks, slightly beaten

2 cups flour

¼ tsp. salt

1 tsp. baking powder

¼ tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. vanilla

1 6oz. pkg. chocolate chips

½ cup chopped walnuts

2 egg whites, beaten stiff

1 cup brown sugar

 

1.      Add 1 Tblsp. water to slightly beaten eggs yolks. 

2.      Mix together shortening, sugars, egg yolks, and vanilla.

3.      Sift dry ingredients together and add to the sugar mixture.

4.      Spread dough on cookie sheet.

5.      Sprinkle chocolate chips and nuts on top.

6.      For topping: add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 Tblsp. at a time, to stiffly beaten egg whites. 

7.      Spread mixture over top of dough.

8.      Bake in 350⁰ oven for 20 minutes.

9.      Cool, cut into squares.
