Taste of Home Tuesday: Chocolate Chip Bars

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup (6 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips, divided
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions
In a bowl, cream butter and brown sugar. Add egg, milk and vanilla; mix well. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; add to creamed mixture. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and walnuts. Spread into a greased 8-in. square microwave-safe dish. Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3-1/2 minutes or until bars test done, rotating a quarter turn every minute. Cool before cutting. Yield: about 1-1/2 dozen.

Editor's Note: This recipe was tested in a 1,100-watt microwave.

I have never "baked" anything in the microwave before.  These bars looked pretty easy so I thought I'd give it a try.  They were VERY quick and tasted OK, one definitely needs a glass of milk with them.  I think I will save the recipe for those times I'm needing something quick, like when Husband remembers late in the evening that he needs a snack for work the next day.:)
