MAPLE CHEWS 
1 box brown sugar
1 c. all-purpose flour, unsifted
1 tsp. baking powder
4 eggs, unbeaten
Pinch of salt
1 tsp. maple flavoring
1 c. chopped pecans

Grease and flour a 9 x 13 x 2 inch pan. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix brown sugar, flour and baking powder in a bowl. Add unbeaten eggs, salt and maple flavoring. Mix well. Add pecans. Pour into pan and bake for 20 minutes or until the middle is set, but not hard. Do not overcook. Cool 10-15 minutes in pan. Cut in squares and remove. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Cookies keep well in covered tin and remain chewy.

Variation: Vanilla may be used instead of maple flavoring, the squares cut larger and served with whipped cream or ice cream for an excellent dessert.
