Brigetta's Evil Bars

 

3/4 cup powdered sugar

3/4 cup butter, softened

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 eggs

2 tbsp. flour

1 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

2 cups granola

 

Preheat oven to 350° Mix powdered sugar and butter; stir in flour.  Press in ungreased 13”x9”x2” baking pan, bake until light golden brown, 12-15 minutes.  Mix remaining ingredients; spread over baked layer.  Bake until edges are brown, 18-20 minutes; cool and cut into bars, about 3”x1”.  Makes about 36 bars.

 

Note:  I use 1.25 times the powdered sugar, butter and flour to make a thicker shortbread layer.
