Butter Pecan Cookies

Butter Pecan Cookies

1-3/4 cups flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 cups whole pecan halves
1 cup butter (no substitutes)
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 cups milk chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In large bowl, combine flour and 1 cup brown sugar and mix with fingers. Stir in 1/2 cup melted butter until the mixture looks like cornmeal. Pat evenly into a 13″ x 9″ baking pan.
Sprinkle pecans over crust. In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup butter and 3/4 cup brown sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils for 1 minute, combines, and looks syrupy. Drizzle evenly over the pecans. Bake bars 17-22 minutes until bubbly over entire surface. Remove from oven.

Sprinkle immediately with milk chocolate chips and cover with foil to trap heat. Let the chocolate melt for a few minutes, then remove foil and swirl a knife through some of the chips to marble. Don’t try to spread the chips over the whole pan.
