1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup Crisco shortening
1 package Domino Light Brown Sugar (1 lb package)
3 eggs (large)
1 tsp vanilla
1 package (6 oz.) chocolate chip morsels
Preheat oven to 350
Grease cookie sheet
Combine dry ingredients in a large bowl; set aside
Melt shortening in a saucepan, then add brown sugar, mixing well.
Cool the sugar mixture, then add to dry ingredients. Mix well.
Add vanilla, and eggs (one egg at a time)
Stir in chocolate chips
Spread evenly in cookie sheet and bake about 15 mintues.
Cut into squares when cool.
Hints - careful not to overbake - the squares should be a light brown, not golden brown.
To store the squares, these must be wrapped well or stored in an air-tight container or they'll get hard quickly.
I have very good memories of these congo squares!!
