Yield:

16 cookies

Ingredients

½ cup cold unsalted butter

1½ cups all-purpose flour

5 tablespoons water

6 tablespoons butter

1¼ cups packed brown sugar

½ cup light corn syrup

½ teaspoon salt

3 large eggs, beaten

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1½ cups pecans, chopped

16 pecan halves, toasted

Directions

In a medium bowl, cut ½ cup cold butter into flour until pieces are the size of small peas. Gradually add water until dough just holds together. Form into a ball. Wrap with plastic and chill in refrigerator for 1 hour.
On a floured surface, roll out dough into a 10-inch square. Place in an 8-inch-square baking pan and press into corners and up sides. Chill 15 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350°F. To prepare filling, in a medium saucepan, melt butter; remove from heat. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt until smooth. Cool slightly. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until well combined. Fold in chopped pecans. Pour filling into pastry-lined pan. If dough extends beyond filling, trim dough ¼ inch above filling with knife.
Bake in center of oven about 60 minutes or until filling is set. While bars are cooling, top with toasted pecan halves.
