Chef2Chef Recipe Club - Volume 3 Issue 122 - December 17, 2002 Chef2Chef Recipe Club Member Forum: http://forums.chef2chef.net Un/Subscribe: http://chef2chef.net/news/subscribe.htm -------------------------------------------------- Hello Recipe Club, When we make our cookie trays, we cook and portion the cookies, then put them into medium size garment boxes and store them in the freezer until it is time to assemble them. We assembled ours last night and here is a tip that we learned. Mark on the outside of the box what's inside and how many portions. This way you'll be able to know how many of each type of cookie to place on each plate! You'll love the Lemon Bars below and so will everyone else on your list! They are one of my favorites. -------------------------------------------------- Pecan Pie Bars Yield: Approx. 48 bars Ingredients: Cookie Crust (recipe below) 4 eggs 1 1/2 cups Karo Light or Dark corn syrup 1 1/2 cups sugar 3 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla 2 1/2 cups pecan halves or coarsely chopped pecans Procedure: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare and bake cookie crust. Meanwhile, in large bowl beat eggs, corn syrup, sugar, butter and vanilla until well blended. Stir in pecans. Immediately pour over hot crust, spread evenly. Bake 25 minutes or until filling if firm around edges and slightly firm in center. Cool completely. Cut into 2 x 1 1/2 inch bars. COOKIE CRUST: Preheat oven to 350. Spray 15 x 10 x 1-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
