Equipment
- 9x9 Baking Dish
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup pecans chopped
- 6 ounce semi sweet chocolate bar chopped
Topping
- Coarse sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare a 9x9 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a bowl, add the ⅓ cup unsalted butter along with the 1 cup dark brown sugar and mix together. Now add the 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract and 2 eggs, mixing again until thoroughly combined.
- Pour in the flour, cinnamon and salt. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to fold in the dry ingredients until a thick cookie batter forms, similar to a brownie batter consistency.
- Add in all but a few tablespoons full of the chopped pecans and chocolate. Keep some to top the batter before going in the oven.
- Fold in the pecans and chocolate until combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the extra pecans and chocolate on top.
- Bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Sprinkle coarse sea salt on the cookie bars straight out of the oven. Let cool for about 20 minutes before cutting.
- Cut into small squares and enjoy!
