Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine flour and 1/3 cup brown sugar in a mixer. Mix in softened butter until a dough has formed. Press into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking pan; prick dough with a fork.
- Bake shortbread in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, beat egg in a mixing bowl along with 1/3 cup brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans. Pour pecan mixture over hot crust, and return to oven. Continue baking until topping has firmed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from oven, and immediately run a knife around the edges to prevent sticking. Cool completely, then cut into 1-inch bar cookies to serve.
