Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 3 Large eggs
- 1.5 cups Packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup Light corn syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups Chopped pecans
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 2 cups all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Mix until the ingredients form a crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan to create the crust. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Set aside to cool slightly while you prepare the filling.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together 3 eggs, 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar, 1 cup light corn syrup, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir in the chopped pecans until evenly combined.
Pour the pecan filling over the partially baked crust, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly bubbly.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut the pecan pie bars into squares or rectangles and serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
