Ingredients
- 1 cup (2 cubes) butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar (light or dark-I used dark)
- 2 eggs , beaten well
- 2 cups self-rising flour (See NOTES for self-rising flour substitution)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a 13x9 inch cake pan (bottom and sides) with non-stick baking spray.
-
Melt butter; add it to a large bowl. Add granulated sugar and brown sugar; mix well, by hand (no mixer needed!). Add beaten eggs, then the flour. Stir dough really well, until all ingredients are incorporated into batter and no lumps remain. Next add in the chopped pecans and vanilla extract. Stir well, then evenly spread dough into prepared 13x9 inch baking pan.
-
Bake at 300 degrees for about 40 to 50 minutes (oven temps vary). Make sure NOT to over bake. I checked mine at the 40 minute mark and they were done! When done, remove pan to a wire rack and let the Pecan Chewies cool. Once at room temperature, cut into 24 portions. Serve, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
If you do not have self-rising flour you can substitute 2 C all-purpose flour + 3 tsp. baking powder+1 tsp. salt.
