Coffee Nut Bars - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons instant coffee
1 tablespoon hot water
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup pecans, chopped (I've also used chocolate chips)
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preparation

Dissolve coffee in hot water; set aside. Put butter and sugars in mixing bowl and combine. Stir in egg and vanilla.
Sift in flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda alternately with coffee.
Spread evenly into 8x8 pan. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until done.
Cool in pan then dust with powdered sugar. (I like to cover my pans not long after coming out of oven to keep the moisture in for chewiness). :).
