I just posted this on another site in response to someone who was looking for a recipe for pecan pie cookie bars. I haven't made them, but they sound good so I though I'd post them on my FAVORITE cooking site.

Pecan Pie-Bars

½ cup butter
1¼ cups sifted flour
¼ cup sugar
½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup light or dark corn syrup
2 tablespoons flour
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
¼ teaspoon salt
½ to 1 cup chopped pecans

To make crust, cut butter with 1¼ cups flour and sugar until particles are fine like cornmeal. Press into bottom of ungreased 9" square pan. Bake in moderate (350 degree) oven for 15 minutes.

Combine remaining ingredients in mixing bowl, beating until well blended. Pour over partially baked crust in pan.

Bake in moderate oven (350 degrees) 30 to 35 minutes, or until golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on rack. Cut in 1½" squares. Makes 3 dozen.

Variation:

Chocolate Pecan Pie-Bars:
Make like Pecan Pie-Bars, but in filling use light corn syrup and add two 1-ounce envelopes no-melt unsweetened chocolate, or two squares unsweetened chocolate, melted. Bake 35 minutes after pouring filling into crust.

I have no idea what "no-melt unsweetened chocolate" is, but I suspect it's baking chocolate that comes in a liquid form so you don't have to melt it.

Both variations sound wonderful, Doug!

I've got all the stuff for the original version - might make them tomorrow during the big snow storm.
