Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour (130 grams)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (114 grams)
  • 2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs (medium eggs might also work well)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 ½ cups pecans toasted and chopped
  • 2 cups more or less dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350. Toast the pecans lightly by laying them on a cookie sheet and baking for about 8 to 10 minutes. Chop them.
  • Line a 15x10 inch pan with parchment paper.
  • Thoroughly mix together flour, baking powder and salt. Cream the butter and sugar on high speed. Reduce speed slightly and beat in the eggs. Add the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and stir until it’s blended in.
  • Spread the mixture evenly in the pan. Sprinkle with nuts and most of the chocolate chips. Bake for about 20 minutes or until cookies are almost set. Do not overbake.
  • Remove from oven and sprinkle remaining chips over hot bars. Let cool completely. Lift foil from pan, set bars on a cookie sheet and score into bars.
