From the fun "Gooseberry Patch Christmas Book #7" come these brown sugar laden beauties! The only thing is to make sure you leave ample cooling time before you powder sugar coat them. I only left myself an hour before I had to run out the door with some treats and lets just say they weren't the prettiest squares you've ever seen. When I came home and cut myself a fresh one from the pan, it was MUCH easier to handle and so the lesson we've all learned is patience makes for better looking treats. ;)
2 cups brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
2 cups chopped pecans
4 eggs
4 tbsp butter, melted
2 tsp vanilla
Preheat oven to 350
Line a 9x13 baking pan with tin foil, extending foil over ends of pan; grease foil.
Mix together brown sugar, flour, baking soda and pecans in a bowl; set aside. In a separate bowl, beat eggs; stir in melted butter. Stir in brown sugar mixture and vanilla. Pour mixture into pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, will still look quite gooey but the middle should be more done. I went the full 25 minutes. Cool in pan COMPLETELY before lifting foil from pan. Cut into squares and dust with powdered sugar.
