Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 1/4 cups butter (2 1/2 sticks), room temperature
- 6 Tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
For the topping:
- 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
- 1/2 cup Karo light corn syrup
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar , packed
- 2 Tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 3 1/2 cups pecans , chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Shortbread Crust:
- Add butter and sugar to a mixing bowl and beat together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix well.
- Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt and add to the mixing bowl. Mix just until dough is combined.
- Flour your hands and press the dough evenly into 9x13'' baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is set but not browned.
Pecan Topping:
- Add butter, corn syrup, and brown sugar to a saucepan over medium heat and stir until butter is melted.
- Bring to a slow boil and boil for 3 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in heavy cream and chopped pecans. Pour over the crust and smooth into an even layer.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the filling is set. The pecan bars are done when the edges are set and the center only slightly jiggles when the pan is moved.
- Allow to cool completely, then cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting and serving.
