Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup pecans chopped

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
  • Melt butter in a large microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop over low heat until fully melted, avoiding boiling.
  • Add white sugar and brown sugar to the melted butter and beat until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract, then add eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, then fold in chopped pecans.
  • Spread batter evenly in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Edges should be golden, with a firm but slightly soft center.
  • Allow bars to cool completely in the pan for easier cutting. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.

Notes

For added depth, try toasting the pecans before adding them to the batter. This brings out a more robust flavor and crunch.
