Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch square baking pan with butter or line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Fold in the chopped pecans. (1 minute)

06

Step

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with moist crumbs. (35-40 minutes)

08

Step

Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. (1 hour)

For a deeper flavor, toast the pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes before chopping. Allow to cool slightly before adding to the batter.
Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
For clean cuts, chill the bars in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
