Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Brown the Butter: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Stir continuously until it turns golden brown and releases a nutty aroma. Remove from heat.
- Combine Sugars: Transfer the browned butter to a mixing bowl. Add the packed brown sugar and granulated sugar, stirring until well combined.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs and vanilla extract into the sugar mixture, mixing until smooth and creamy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined—avoid overmixing.
- Fold in Pecans: Gently stir in the chopped pecans into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and spread the batter evenly in the pan. Bake for about 25–30 minutes or until golden brown on top and set in the middle.
- Cool & Serve: Allow cooling before cutting into squares. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
