Halfway Bars...

1 c. and 2 Tbls. butter or shortening

3/4 cup white sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar

4 1/2 eggs, separated- (good luck on the 1./2 egg)

1 1/2 tsp. vanilla 

1 pkg. chocolate chips or a little less

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

3 cups flour (I use presifted)

3/4 tsp. salt

1 1/2 tsp. baking powder

3/4 tsp. soda

Cream together shortening or butter, white sugar, and 3/4 cup brown sugar.  Add egg yolks, vanilla and beat together.  Add dry ingredients and mix together.  Spread in a 9 X 13 inch pan.  Sprinkle with chocolate chips.  

Beat egg whites until stiff.  Add 1 1/2 c. brown sugar gradually and beat well.

Spread evenly over chips and dough.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Cool and cut into bars.  (I called them Halfway because they are half cookie and half cake.)
