3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon instant coffee
2 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup melted margarine (butter makes the bars less chewy)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Sift flour and instant coffee, set aside.

Beat eggs until foamy, gradually add sugar, beating until stiff. Stir in melted margarine and vanilla. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Add nuts. Pour into greased and floured 8-inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in pan, then cut into squares.
