They have all the yumminess of a pecan pie, but they're easier to make, serve, and portion into smaller pieces, if needed. Everyone will love how ooey-gooey-good these are!
What You'll Need
- 2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 stick cold butter, cut into small chunks
