# Ingredient List:
→ Shortbread Crust
01 - 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
04 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
→ Pecan Pie Filling
05 - 3 large eggs
06 - 1 cup packed light brown sugar
07 - 1 cup light corn syrup
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
09 - 2 tablespoons bourbon
10 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
11 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
12 - 2 cups pecan halves
→ Bourbon Glaze
13 - 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
14 - 2 tablespoons bourbon
15 - 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
# Directions:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing overhang on two sides for easy removal.
02 - In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
03 - Add flour and salt to the creamed mixture; mix until a crumbly dough forms.
04 - Press dough evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
05 - While crust bakes, whisk together eggs, brown sugar, corn syrup, melted butter, bourbon, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl until smooth.
06 - Stir pecan halves into the filling mixture until evenly distributed.
07 - Pour filling evenly over the hot crust. Return to oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes, until filling is set and center jiggles slightly.
08 - Remove from oven and allow bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
09 - Whisk together powdered sugar, bourbon, and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth. Add additional milk as needed to reach pourable consistency.
10 - Drizzle glaze over cooled bars. Let set for 15 minutes, then lift from pan using parchment overhang. Cut into 16 equal bars.
