CHOCOLATE CHIPIT SQUARES! (One of my mother’s favourite recipes ❤️)

I had a craving for this particular dessert that my mom used to make to make for special occasions!
But there’s really nothing fancy about it other than the delicious yummy taste. It’s like eating a very light, fluffy chocolate chip cookie because the topping is a meringue mix!
It’s a recipe you’ll make again and again 😋
Chocolate Chipit Squares
1/2 cup shortening (I use butter)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg yolk
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp baking Soda dissolved in 1 TBSP hot water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
Mix altogether and press into bottom of 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 square pan
Topping:
1 egg white (very stiff)
1/2 brown sugar
1/2 package chocolate chips
1/2 tsp vanilla
Fold in mixture and press on top of bottom
Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes
Enjoy!
