Makes: about 4 dozen bars

Cooking Time: 40 min

What You'll Need:
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
• 1 egg, separated

What To Do:
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
2. In a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed,
beat together sugar and butter until well mixed, 1 to 2
minutes, scraping bowl often. Add egg yolk and continue
beating until well mixed. Reduce speed to low. Continue
beating 1 to 2 minutes longer, gradually adding flour and
cinnamon, scraping bowl frequently. Press dough evenly
onto bottom of a 10- x 15-inch rimmed baking sheet.
3. In a small bowl, beat the egg white with a fork then brush
it over the top of the dough. Sprinkle with pecans, patting
them lightly into dough.
