Perfect Pecan Pie Bars

Perfect Pecan Bars
Nutty, and not-too-sweet. These are PERFECT cookie jar cookies for all those who LOVE Pecan Pie
Crust
1 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup toasted and chopped pecans
1/4 tsp baking powder (featherweight)
6 Tbs unsalted butter
Filling
4 Tbs unsalted butter
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 Tbs maple syrup
2 1/2 cups toasted and chopped pecans
2 tsp vanilla
1 Preheat oven to 350*
2 First, toast all the pecans for this entire recipe (3 cups) by placing them on a rimmed baking sheet and baking for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and chop, if not already chopped. Leave the oven on.
For the crust:
1 Place the flour, brown sugar, baking powder and pecans into your food processor. Process for 5-10 seconds, until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
2 Cut the cold butter into small pieces, and add to the work bowl. Process a few times with the pulse until it all looks crumbly.
3 Prepare a 9 inch square baking pan with non-stick spray. Line it with foil, so that the foil comes up the sides and overlaps some. This will help in the removal of the finished cookies.
4 Pour the crust mixture into the prepared pan and press it lightly into all sides and corners. Bake for 20 minutes.
Prepare the Filling:
1 Melt the butter, and let cool to room temperature.
2 While the crust bakes, beat the egg in a medium bowl. Add the brown sugar, corn syrup, maple syrup, vanilla and melted butter. Whisk well to combine.
Finishing:
1 Remove the crust from the oven, and while it is still hot, pour the filling over it. Sprinkle the nuts on top and return it to the oven for 22-26 minutes.
2 It will be finished baking when the top is brown and cracks start to form across the surface.
3 Cool on a wire rack for and hour. Remove the cookies from the pan using the foil "handles". Cut into 24 bars.
