Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups All Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Sugar
- ¾ cup Butter, cold
Top Layer:
- ⅔ cup Brown Sugar, firmly packed
- ⅓ cup + 1 tablespoon Flour
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla Extract
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- 1 ½ cups Corn Syrup
- 2 cups Pecans, roughly chopped
Directions
- Lightly grease and line with parchment paper a 13×9 inch baking pan; preheat oven to 350F
- Mix together the 1 ¾ cup of flour and ½ cup of sugar; mix the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse meal; using a food processor can speed things up
- Press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the baking pan; bake for 20 minutes until edges are brown; while baking, prepare the top layer, once the bottom layer is done pour the top layer over it while it is still hot
- Top layer of bars: mix together the flour and brown sugar; whisk in the eggs, vanilla extract, salt and corn syrup
- Mix in the chopped pecans; pour the topping over the partially baked crust
- Return the pan to the oven; bake for 40-50 minutes until the filling is set; the center should wobble but not runny
- Cool the pan to room temperature before chilling the cookie bars in the fridge
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, remove them from the pan using the parchment paper; place on cutting board then cut into bars using a sharp knife
