1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter, soft
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts (optional ? I left these out)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a 9X13 pan with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Whisk together flour, salt and brown sugar.
4. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture is crumbly.
5. Add eggs and mix well with a wooden spoon or your hands.
