Milk Dud Cookie Bars

Milk Dud Cookie Bars
1 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups Milk Duds (measured before chopping)

Cream butter and sugars.
Add eggs and vanilla.
Mix until light.
Combine flour, baking powder, salt in one bowl.
Chop Milk Duds.
Combine egg mixture, flour mixture and Milk Duds.
Mix carefully so that all flour is absorbed.

Put mixture into greased 8-inch square pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 40 minutes. Keep a very careful eye on the cookies; there is a narrow window between undercooked and scorched.
Remove from oven. Loosen edges, but let cool awhile in pan before inverting onto cooling rack.
