| Mocha Bars |
Ingredients
4 tablespoons butter
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1 cup flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup extra – strong, cold black coffee
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts, pecans or walnuts
Method
Heat oven to 350º
Melt butter in a saucepan. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Cool mixture,
then beat in egg.
Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, and add to butter-egg mixture
alternately with the cold coffee.
Blend in vanilla extract and stir in the chocolate chips and nuts.
Turn into a well-greased 9 inch square baking pan. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until
toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cut into small squares.
NOTE: For "neater" bar cookies, line the baking pan with foil before greasing.
When the bars are finished baking, let them cool a few minutes in the pan. Flip the
uncut bars onto a wire rack; remove the foil and cool completely, then cut into
squares. Bars will cut without ragged edges.
