Noel Bars

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup packed brown sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat eggs and vanilla together in mixing bowl. Add in brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt and walnuts. Mix until well blended.

Melt the butter in a 9-inch square pan. Pour the batter into the pan and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until firm to the touch.

While bars are still hot, loosen with a spatula and turn out onto wax paper, buttered side up. Dust with confectioners' sugar while warm and cut into squares.
