Johnson Cookies

1 1/4 sticks (not cups) butter, melted
2 eggs
2 C. brown sugar
1 t. vanilla
2 C. flour
1 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
3/4 t. salt
1 C. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter, eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla. Mix in remaining ingredients expect for chocolate chips. Press mixture in greased 9 x 13 pan. Top with chocolate chips and bake 30-35 minutes.

note: don't press this all the way to the edges because the dough tends to climb up the sides. after 30-35 minutes, they don't look like they are done, but if you bake them until they look done, they will be overcooked. the cookies will setup as they cool.
