WEP '12, Day 56 - Cookie Bars

Right, so I've been playing around with a cookie bar recipe that's worked out reasonably well for me.  It goes like this:

1 Cup Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/8 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1/2 Cup Chopper Pecans
1/3 Cup Butter
1 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon Vanilla Extract
1 Cup Milk Chocolate Chips
1/3 Cup Coconut (Optional)

Preheat the Oven to 350 degrees.
Sift the Flour.  Add the Baking Powder, Baking Soda and Salt, and sift again.  Add the Pecans and mix well.

Melt the Butter in a saucepan.  Add the sugar and melt them together.  Add the Vanilla and Beaten Egg and mix well.

Pour warm Sugar/Butter Mix into Flour bowl.  Mix.

While still warm, mix in 2/3 Cup of chocolate chips.  Stir until chops are melted and mixture has a brown color.

Mix in coconut (Optional)

Pour mixture into pre-greased 9 x 9 pan.

Sprinkle remaining 1/3 Cup Chocolate Chips over the top.

Bake for 20-25 minutes.

You can double the recipe by doing it in a 9 x 18 pan.

And there you have it.  Everyone seems to love these, and I do too.  Enjoy!
