Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Pecans, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for optional dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until the batter is smooth and evenly combined.
Fold in the chopped pecans, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out into an even layer using a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. The center should still be slightly soft, as it will firm up while cooling.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the Chewy Noels cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, if desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
Cut into 16 squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
