Ingredients
For the Crust:
- ¾ cup butter room temperature
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 ¾ cups all purpose flour
For the Pecan Topping:
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup corn syrup light or dark
- 2 Tablespoon Butter melted
- 4 eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups pecan halves chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and granulated sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flour and mix just until combined.
- Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
- While the crust bakes, whisk together the brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the chopped pecans.
- Pour the pecan mixture evenly over the hot baked crust.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles.
- Cool the bars completely in the pan before lifting them out and slicing into squares.
Notes
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting for the cleanest slices.
- For even neater bars, refrigerate for 30–60 minutes before slicing.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 1 week.
