CHOCOLATE CHIP PECAN BARS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9- by 13-inch pan.
- In a large bowl or mixer, cream butter and sugar until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and water, and mix.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and soda. Add flour mixture to butter and egg mixture. Mix just enough to make sure ingredients are well combined, being sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
- Stir in chocolate chips and 1 cup chopped pecans.
- Spread dough evenly in greased baking pan, smoothing the surface with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle additional 1 cup pecans on top and gently press into dough enough so that they do not move when the pan moves.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes in the center of the oven. Check bars after 25 minutes. If a toothpick comes out of the dough clean, the bars are done. If not, return bars to oven for another 5 minutes. When the bars are done, the edges will be very lightly browned. Cool on a rack. Cut with a sharp knife when cool six lengthwise and four across to get 24 bars. Store in an airtight container.
- Tips
- Replace vanilla with natural maple flavor.
- Use 3/4 cup dried coconut instead of 1 cup pecans in the bar and sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut on the top before baking.
