How to Make Scotch Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened margarine and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 large egg until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Stir in 1 ½ cups chocolate chips (or chunks).
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared 9x9 inch baking pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  9. Let the squares cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
