These sugar cookie pecan pie bars have a cookie dough crust and a quick pecan pie filling. They're the easiest way to achieve that pecan pie flavor you crave.
1 (16.3 ounce) tube refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 1/4 cups brown sugar
3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 cups finely chopped pecans
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Spread cookie dough evenly in the bottom of the prepared dish.
Bake crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned around the edges, 16 to 18 minutes.
Meanwhile, stir together brown sugar, salt, baking soda, flour, eggs, vanilla, melted butter, and pecans until well combined. Pour mixture over warm crust.
Bake in the preheated oven until just set, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting and serving, about 30 minutes.
