Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 c butter or margarine, softened
1 c granulated sugar
1 c light brown sugar, lightly packed
2 eggs, whipped
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/4 c all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking powder (no more than that!)
1 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 X 8 inch pan. In a medium sized bowl, cream together the softened butter and the white & lt. brown sugars. Beat in the eggs and vanilla. Stir in the flour and pecans until just blended. Spread mixture evenly into the prepared pan.
  • 2. Bake at 350 degrees 40-45 minutes. Edges should start to pull away from sides of the pan. Allow the pan to cool before cutting the bars (or cut into squares).
  • 3. These freeze well, so make up a few batches and keep them in the freezer so you can have some at a moment's notice! Bon Apetit' Y'all!
