Title: Easy Pecan Bars

Ingredients:
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 cup brown sugar, packed
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon baking powder
– 1 cup chopped pecans

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, softened butter, and powdered sugar. Mix until a soft dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

3. While the crust is baking, prepare the pecan topping. In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, salt, and baking powder until smooth.

4. Stir in the chopped pecans until they are evenly coated in the sugar mixture.

5. Remove the crust from the oven and pour the pecan mixture over the hot crust, spreading it out evenly.

6. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden brown.

7. Once done, remove the pan from the oven and allow the pecan bars to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the pan, then slice into squares or bars.

8. Serve these Easy Pecan Bars at room temperature and enjoy the crunchy, sweet goodness with a cup of tea or coffee, or even a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert!
