I believe the dimensions for your baking pan are wrong. Or weird.

I vote for weird. I'll change it immediately, and hope that no one
tries to make this recipe in a bread pan. DUH! Thanks for the catch.

ROFLMAO! My typos are becoming legendary. There was a fiasco with
the Unbaked Chocolate Drop recipe a few years ago. Cocoa should have
been 1/2 cup, but I posted the recipe with TWO cups!! Uck!

Tries making these last night. The bars were a little crumbly (what my
mom would call 'too short') and I wasn't sure if the topping was
supposed to be a stiff meringue. i couldn't get the egg whites to beat
up stiff after all that brown sugar was added, so its a kind of
soft-merengue topping over the bars instead of a crispy one. Is that
how it should have turned out?

Hmmmm. I haven't made these in quite some time, so I don't recall the
crumbly part. The dough *should* be the Toll House recipe.

The topping is a glaze, not a meringue. "beating" in this case just
means homogenizing the eggs.

I'll update the directions. This is another of those old recipes (I
got it from a classmate in elementary school) where a lot of the
directions are just a given. I've been trying to update my recipes as
they are discovered to be inadequate. Thanks for letting me know that
this is one of them.

Thanks.....I don't think the dough was the toll house; the 2 T water
made a big gummy spot and I know my choc-chip cookies don't have any
added water. I figured iut might be to compensate for the missing
moisture from the egg whites.

Never would have thought of the topping as a glaze! As soon as I saw
beaten egg whites, I envisioned a meringue-topped cookie bar. Guess
I'll just have to play around with the recipe and invent my own!!

What are you talking about? They turned out amazing - they were supposed to
be Ultra Dark Chocolate Drops, right? LOL

Sorry... couldn't resist.
