Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped pecans
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  3. Gradually add the flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt, mixing until just combined to form a dough.
  4. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the chopped pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon salt until well combined.
  6. Pour the pecan filling evenly over the crust.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.

Notes

  • For a chewier bar, bake for a shorter time. For a firmer bar, bake a few minutes longer.
  • Ensure your eggs are at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Store cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
