02 - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
03 - 2 cups all-purpose flour
04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Pecan Filling
05 - 1 cup packed light brown sugar
06 - 2/3 cup pure maple syrup
07 - 2 large eggs

→ Maple Glaze
12 - 1 cup powdered sugar
13 - 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
14 - 1 to 2 teaspoons milk, as needed for consistency
# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
02 - Beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate flour and salt, mixing until crumbly dough forms.
03 - Press dough evenly into prepared pan. Bake 15 to 18 minutes until lightly golden. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.
04 - Whisk brown sugar, maple syrup, eggs, melted butter, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth in a medium bowl.
05 - Fold pecan halves into the filling mixture until well coated.
06 - Pour pecan filling over pre-baked crust, spreading evenly. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes until just set and golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
07 - Whisk powdered sugar and maple syrup together. Add milk a few drops at a time until glaze is thick but pourable.
08 - Drizzle glaze over cooled bars. Let set for 10 minutes. Use parchment overhang to lift bars from pan and cut into 16 pieces.
