Pecan Squares
Makes 36 Squares
Cooking Spray
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup confectioners' sugar
½ tsp. salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3 tbsp. heavy cream
3 cups coarsely chopped pecans
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. and coat a 9 x 13-in. baking pan with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and salt. Add softened butter and, using a fork, mix until fine crumbs form. Press the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, make the topping: In a medium bowl, combine melted butter with brown sugar and heavy cream. Mix until well blended. Fold in the pecans. Pour this mixture over the crust, return the pan to the oven, and bake for 25 more minutes, until the top is almost set – it will set completely upon cooling. Cool in the pan on a wire rack before cutting into squares.
