    These bar cookies are so delicious.  The base is perfectly chewy, the topping is rich and sweet - they really taste a lot like pecan pie.  They're so easy to make, but they are so good they're perfect for the holidays - to serve to guests or to gift.  I made them the first time a few years ago, and have made them as gifts several times since.  I have gotten nothing but rave reviews and they have become a definite favorite of mine.

    • ½ cup butter
    • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 large eggs
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla

    • Mix together with your hands until very combined, then press well into the bottom of your baking dish and set aside.
    • In a medium bowl, beat the eggs with an electric mixer until foamy, about 2 or 3 minutes.
