Chewy Noel Bars:



My mother has been making Chewy Noels for years and it is something that I look forward to at the holidays. They are a chewy bar cookie made with brown sugar and walnuts that just scream Christmas and invoke that warm, fuzzy feeling that we all need this time of year. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Perhaps they can become a tradition in your family as well.




CHEWY NOEL BARS (COOKIES)

4 tbsp. butter
2 c. brown sugar
2 c. nuts, chopped (I like walnuts-but you can use whatever nut you prefer)
2/3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
4 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
Powdered sugar

In a 9 x 9 x 2 inch baking dish, melt butter. Stir together brown sugar, nuts, flour, baking soda and salt. Stir in eggs and vanilla. Carefully pour over butter in pan. (Do NOT stir in.) Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes. Sift powdered sugar over top. Cool; cut into bars.



Warm regards and love,
Erin
