Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups pecan halves
- 2 cups lightly packed brown sugar (plus a little more for sprinkling.)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract. Alternatively use 2 teaspoons vanilla and 1 teaspoon almond extract.
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups all purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F Grease and flour your 9x13 pan, or line with parchment paper for easy removal and slicing.
- Spread the nuts out on a baking sheet and toast for 10 minutes. Let cool, then chop.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk together the brown sugar and melted butter until smooth.
- Whisk in the eggs, vanilla, and salt.
- Fold in the flour until almost fully incorporated, then fold in half of the chopped pecans.
- Turn the batter into your baking pan and spread out evenly.
- Top the batter with the remaining chopped nuts, and an extra sprinkle of brown sugar.
- Bake for about 24 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center doesn't jiggle. The bars will look slightly underdone, and that's good. You don't want to over bake these.
- Cool on a rack before slicing into bars. Note: you can slice them into 12 or 16 pieces. I recommend the smaller size because they are rich.
