- 1 Cup - Brown Sugar, packed
- 1 - Egg, separated
- 1 Teaspoon - Vanilla
- 2 Cups - All Purpose Flour
- 3 Teaspoons - Baking Powder
- 1 Teaspoon - Salt

- Place chopped pecans and 1 tablespoon butter on a rimmed cookie sheet. Bake at 325 degrees, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes or until toasted and browned. Set aside and cool.
