Last week, we had an estate/garage sale at my mom’s house.  My kids really wanted to do a lemonade stand for the sale, but it was cold and windy out… not lemonade weather!!  I know how much they look forward to setting up a little booth whenever we have a sale so I made them some Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars to sell.

This is the same recipe I used for the Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake but I doubled it (except for the amount of chocolate chips) so that it would fill a jelly roll size pan and therefore we would have more bars to sell!

cream butter and sugar

Cream the shortening and sugar.

Add the eggs and vanilla.

    They look really good Tonia. They look really fudgy. I’m thinking that you guys call them bars and we call it a slice. How did the kids go selling them and how was the yard sale? Hope it was a success.Anne xx
