It came out on a Use and Care Card, not sure what product though. I found it on Consultants Corner and was thinking about trying it for a show this weekend.

6 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar, divided
2 eggs, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup pecans, chopped

1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray Square Baker with vegetable oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Combine butter and 1/4 cup brown sugar in Classic Batter Bowl using Bamboo Spoon. Separate one egg using Egg Separator; reserve yolk. Beat egg white into butter mixture. Add flour, stirring until well blended and dough forms. Press dough onto bottom of Square Baker using lightly floured Baker's Roller(TM). Bake 15 minutes.
