  • For the Crust:
  • Whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Pour in the melted butter, and mix making sure to completely incorporate the butter. Dough will be crumbly.

  • Sprinkle with the remaining crust and bake for 30 - 35 minutes or until golden brown. (Mine took 33 minutes.)
  • Cool on rack, then chill in the refrigerator, then cut and serve. (16 - 32 bars or squares).
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, covered, or in an airtight container.
