 Ingredients 

Bars 

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour

3/4 cup very finely chopped pecans

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 egg or use substitute

1 1/2 tsp vanilla

Topping

1/4 cup powdered sugar  

 

Preparations

 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 desired shapes. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons powdered sugar over top of bars before serving. Store in airtight container at room temperature.
