    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.

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 cup brown sugar - firmly packed, separated
    • ½ cup butter
    • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
    • 2 large eggs
    • ½ cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ½ cup coconut - flaked
    • ½ cup pecans - chopped (or walnuts)
    • pinch of salt

    Instructions

    • Pre heat oven to 350 F (175 C) and grease a baking dish (9"x 9").
    • Combine ½ cup of the brown sugar, the butter, flour and a dash of salt.
    • 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.
    • Add the remaining brown sugar, the sugar, vanilla, and salt and mix well, then stir in the coconut and nuts.
    • Pour the mixture over the base in the baking dish and bake in the oven for about 30 - 35 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly browned.
