Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups pecans, toasted , cooled, and chopped

1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs

  • Cool in pan on a rack 10 minutes, then turn out onto rack and cool 1 hour more.
