Yield 64

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3/4 cup very finely chopped pecans
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
1/4 cup powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 8-inch square pan with foil, leaving foil overhanging at 2 opposite sides of pan; spray foil with cooking spray. In small bowl, mix flour, pecans, baking powder and salt; set aside.
  • In large bowl, beat softened butter, granulated sugar and 1/2 cup powdered sugar with electric mixer on medium speed about 1 minute or until fluffy; scrape side of bowl. Beat in egg and vanilla. On low speed, gradually beat flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended. Spread in pan.
  • Bake 32 to 37 minutes or until light brown on top and edges. Immediately sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the powdered sugar over top. Cool completely, about 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove bars from pan by lifting foil; peel foil away. Cut into 8 rows by 8 rows. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar over top of bars before serving. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
