2 1/2teaspoonsbaking powder

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a 9x13-inch baking pan by spraying it with cooking spray and set it aside.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until it's light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs and vanilla, and then beat in the flour, baking powder and salt.
Once everything is well incorporated, mix in the chocolate chips and pecans.
Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 30 minutes or until the top is nicely browned. (You don't need to do the toothpick test on this one. The bars will finish setting up as they cool.)
Let the bars cool completely and slice for serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
