2. Prepare Butter Mixture: In a saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of butter over low heat until completely melted and smooth.

3. Blend with Sugar: Remove the melted butter from heat and add brown sugar. Stir until well blended and smooth.

4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

5. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour and baking powder to the mixture, stirring until well combined and smooth.

6. Optional Nuts: If using pecans, fold them into the batter lightly until evenly distributed.

7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and cool the bars in the pan. Once cooled, cut into bars of desired size and serve.

Recipe Notes

• Nuts Variation: For those who prefer bars without nuts, consider sprinkling chopped pecans only on half of the batter before baking to accommodate different preferences.

• Storage: Store Saucepan Scotchies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.

Enjoy these delicious Saucepan Scotchies, perfect for any occasion with their rich, buttery flavor and chewy texture enhanced by the optional pecans!
