Pecan pie takes a turn as a bar cookie — and a rich one at that. Try out the pecan pie bar recipe as a holiday cookie. Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
3/4 cup butter or margarine, cut up |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1/2 cup butter or margarine |
4 large eggs, lightly beaten |
2 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in large bowl; cut in 3/4 cup butter thoroughly with a pastry blender until mixture resembles very fine crumbs. Press mixture evenly into a greased 13 x 9 pan, using a piece of plastic wrap to press crumb mixture firmly in pan. Bake at 350° for 17 to 20 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Combine brown sugar, corn syrup, and 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring gently. Remove from heat. Stir one-fourth of hot mixture into beaten eggs; add to remaining hot mixture. Stir in pecans and vanilla. Pour filling over crust. Bake at 350° for 34 to 35 minutes or until set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.
