Here is a great cookie if you like pecans. I have made these, and thrown a handful of mini chocolate chips on top. These are so good, and perfect for a pot luck!

Sticky Pecan Bars

1 1/2 C. Flour
1/4 C. Sugar
1/8 tsp. Salt
1/2 C. plus 2 Tbsp. cold unsalted Butter, cut into pieces
1 large Egg Yolk
Filling
1/2 C. Brown Sugar
2 Tbsp. Flour
3/4 C. Dark Karo Syrup
3 large Eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla
2 C. large Pecan Halves

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease a 9-inch square pan.

For crust: put the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until blended. With the processor running, gradually add the butter through the feed tube, process until blended. Turn out into prepared pan and gather dough. Flatten and press evenly over the bottom of the pan, forming a 1/2 inch edge up the sides of the pan. Bake for 10 minutes.

For filling: Stir brown sugar and flour a medium bowl until blended. Add corn syrup, eggs, and vanilla; whisk until well blended.

Spread pecans in an even layer over the partially baked crust. Pour filling over pecans.

Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Bake for 25 minutes or until filling is firm. Cool on a wire rack before cutting into bars.
