Pecan Bars
Cookie Crust: Pecan Topping:
2 cups flour 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup powdered sugar 1/2 cup honey
3/4 cup butter, room temperature 2/3 cup butter
3 Tablespoons whipping cream
3 1/2 cups chopped pecans
Preheat oven to 350*.
Sift together flour & powdered sugar. Cut in (or pulse in food processor) the butter until it resembles sand. Pat the mixture into the bottom a greased (or lined with parchment) 9x13 pan. Bake at 350* for 20 minutes until edges are lightly brown. Remove from oven and cool slightly.
While crust is cooling, put brown sugar, honey, butter and whipping cream into a saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Remove from heat; stir in pecans and pour into prepared crust, smoothing out evenly. Bake at 350* for 25-30 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Cool completely and cut into 2” squares.
