Pecan Pie Bars

(I don't know where this recipe came from.)

For Crust:

• Cooking Spray
• 2 cups AP Flour
• 1/4 cup Sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 cup Butter, melted

For Filling:

• 3 Large Eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup Sugar
• 1 cup Light Corn Syrup
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
• 2 cups Chopped Pecans (I use 'cookie pieces' they are very small like in Pecan Sandies cookies)

Crust:

• Heat oven to 350* F. Coat 13x9 inch pan with Cooking Spray and flour lightly. (Note: If you do not flour your pan, they will stick. Yes, even with the butter in the crust.)
• Beat flour, sugar, salt, and Butter in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until it resembles corn meal.
• Press firmly into prepared pan.
• Bake 20 minutes or until very light golden brown.

Filling:

• Combine eggs, sugar, corn syrup, butter, vanilla, and pecans in medium bowl.
• Pour over partially baked crust.
• Bake 25 to 28 minutes or until filling is set. 
• Cool completely.
• Cut into 2 inch squares.

Store in refrigerator. Makes 24 squares.

These go very fast at my house. I usually do them in 8x8 pans because we like ours a little thinner than when we use a 13x9. The first picture is one of the 8x8's and the second picture is what's left of the other. I just cut them ten minutes ago. To do them in two pans just mix everything the way it says and split them between two  8x8 inch pans.
