Ingredients
Units
for the cookie crust
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
for the maple pecan topping
- 1/3 cup maple syrup, room temperature
- 1 egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon maple extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 cups pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 9 x 9 pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Make the cookie crust by combining the butter, sugar, and vanilla, beating until combined and fluffy. Add the flour and salt and beat until just combined. The dough will be a little crumbly!
- Press the cookie crust into prepared pan into an even layer. Set aside.
- Make the maple pecan topping. In a large bowl combine the melted butter and the flour, whisking until a thick paste forms. Add the maple syrup, egg, vanilla extract, maple extract, and salt whisking until fully incorporated. Add the pecans and fold to combine.
- Pour the maple pecan filling over the cookie crust, evening out into a layer. Bake for 40 minutes or until set! Allow to cool completely before cutting into bars and serving!
