Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 and grease a 9x13 pan. In a small saucepan, melt the butter. Pour the melted butter into a large bowl. Add the sugar, vanilla, salt, baking soda, baking powder, egg yolks, water and flour to form a stiff dough. Spread the dough into the prepared baking pan. Spread the chocolate chips evenly over the dough. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, beat the egg whites into the brown sugar. Pour the glaze over the bars. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Store the bars in a sealed container. These will stay fresh for 3 to 4 days. Makes about 2 dozen bars.
