6 years agoGeorgysmom' Pecan Pie Bars from last year. I'm going to make a batch today - some will stay out for us to eat and the rest will go into the freezer for future treats.
Eight dozen chocolate chip cookies made for the people who worked 18 hour days for two weeks to restore our power after severe snow/wind storms last winter. I heard later that they were a big hit with those tired, cold and hungry workers:

Comments (6)Susan, like I tell Bigbaby, "We all do what we can." When the kids were little and I lived in the mountains of New Mexico we'd go for hikes. At times it was frustrating because I'm the kind of guy that always wants to see what's over the next hill and what's around the next bend in the river. The kids would get tired out before me. Now, we go out backpacking and they're in their prime and I'm the "old man" holding them back. When were our abilities equal?? It must have been one rainy weekend in October of 1998 and I missed it!

6 years agoCookies (I think 10 - 12 kinds) are packed away until I package them to give away.
Just made peanut butter bars, dream bars and pecan butter tart squares. Still plan to make lemon bars and chocolate drops.

Pecan Pie Bars - originally
posted by Georgysmom:3 C. A. P. flour,
2 C. sugar, divided,
1/4 tsp. salt,
1 C. (2 sticks unsalted butter + 3 T.,
5 eggs lightly beaten,
1 1/2 C. light or dark corn syrup,
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla,
3 C. chopped pecans.
Preheat oven 350. Grease bottom and sides 12 x 18" pan and
line with parchment paper. (Do not grease parchment paper) In large
bowl, combine flour, 1/2 C. sugar and salt. With pastry blender, cut
in 1 C. butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press firmly
and evenly in pan. Bake 15 - 20 min. In a large bowl, mix together
eggs, corn syrup, 1 1/2 C. sugar, 3 T. melted butter and vanilla.
Stir in pecans. Spread over hot crust and bake 25 - 27 min. or until
set. Cool completely and cut into bars. (I use a combination of half
dark and half light corn syrup.) I cut them in smallish bars because
they are rich....you can always go back for seconds. DH will take one
out every day when I have them in the freezer.

Here's our tree in the front. I'm pretty sure it can be seen from space. It's a crepe myrtle fyi.
I don't bake any more, but I have some Moose Munch containers for gifts that I'm having a hard time NOT opening. That pecan pie looks wonderful, one of my favorites. Probably one of the sweetest pies made.
