Pecan Pie Squares

By kaydeis

This is my most-requested bar cookie recipe! Freezes well, and (unfortunately) tastes great even when frozen! Adapted from a Pampered Chef recipe. You may use all corn syrup, or some Lyle's Golden Syrup, but we love the maple/honey flavor.

Ingredients

• 3 cups AP flour
• 6 Tbs sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 3/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup maple syrup and honey (1/2 cup combined, not each!)
• 1 cups corn syrup
• 4 eggs, lightly beaten
• 3 Tbs melted butter
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350*F.

2. Combine the flour, 6 Tbsp sugar, 3/4 cup butter and salt in a medium mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed until crumbly. Press ove the bottom of a greased 10x15-inch baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.

3. Combine the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar, corn syrup, eggs, 3 Tbsp melted butter and vanilla in a medium mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed until blended. Stir in the pecans. Spread evenly over the baked layer.

4. Bake for 25 minutes longer or until set. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.

5. Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares.

Author Notes
Reduce the oven temp 25* for glass pan for the filling. May take longer to bake until set, if using maple syrup and honey with corn syrup.
