1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup softened butter

1 egg
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/2 cup chopped pecans

DIRECTIONS

• Place flour and 1/3 cup brown sugar into a mixer. Add and blend in softened butter until dough has formed. Transfer dough into a non-greased 8×8-inch baking dish. Pierce small holes into the dish using the tines of a fork.
• Turn the oven on to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake the shortbread for 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk egg into a mixing bowl. Add 1/3 cup brown sugar, maple syrup and pecans, combining well.
• Transfer the pecan mixture onto the hot crust. Put it back into the oven and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove crust from the oven and run a knife around the edges. Let it cool well before cutting them into inch-sized sqaures. Serve.
