Christmas Chip Squares

Christmas Chip Squares
1 cup butter or hard margarine, softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated (white) sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups Christmas chips (like chocolate chips, but red, white, and green colored)
Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line a 9x13 inch pan.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the granulated sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla. Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chips.
Spread batter evenly in prepared pan. Bake for about 25-30 minutes until lightly browned. 

This square recipe is really just chocolate chip cookie dough baked in a pan and eaten in bar form. They are made festive by the use of colored chocolate chips, which are not chocolate flavored, but are still sweet and tasty. For the off-season, just replace with your favorite type of chips - milk chocolate, dark chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, mint, etc.
