Steps:
- Cover a 9-inch square baking pan with heavy duty aluminum foil. Push foil neatly into corners and up sides of the pan, using two pieces if necessary to ensure it overlaps all edges (the overhang will help removal from pan). Spray foiled pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Place the flour, cornstarch, confectioners sugar and salt in a bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse a few times to mix. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal with pea-size clumps of butter within. It will seem dry; that's okay. Transfer mixture to the prepared pan and press firmly with your fingers into an even layer over the bottom. Refrigerate for 15 minutes. While the crust is in the refrigerator, adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350° F. Bake the crust until crust is set but not browned, about 17 minutes. Set on rack to cool. Leave oven on.
- In a heavy medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butter, brown sugar, honey, vanilla and salt. Stir with a wooden spoon until sugar dissolves. Turn up the heat and boil gently for 3 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and chopped pecans.
- Pour pecan mixture over crust (it's fine if the crust is still warm). Bake until filling is bubbling and caramel in color, about 20 minutes. Cool completely on rack. To cut, use the foil overhang to lift baked square out of pan and onto cutting board. Loosen the foil from the edges, then cut with a sharp knife into 2-inch squares. Store finished pecan squares in air-tight container and serve at room temperature.
- Freezer-Friendly Instructions: These can be frozen for up to 3 months. After they are completely cooled, double-wrap them securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap with the layers separated by wax or parchment paper. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

Steps:
- Add butter to a mixer and cream until fluffy (2-3 minutes.)
- Add Powdered Sugar and mix until combined.
- Add Baking Soda with the Flour (one cup at a time) and mixed just until combined.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Wrap one in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- Press half of the dough into a parchment paper-lined baking pan (we used a 7x11" Brownie Pan to have a little bit of a thicker shortbread layer but a 9x13" pan will work too.)
- Bake the Shortbread crust in an oven preheated to 325 degrees for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven. It should be a little bit brown, just around the edges of the crust.
- Stir the jam to smooth it out and then pour it into the center of the pan. Smooth the jam over the entire cookie crust.
- Take the second portion of shortbread dough out of the refrigerator. Scatter pieces of the dough on the top of the jam.
- Increase the oven temperature to 375 and place the pan back in the oven. Cook the cookie bars for an additional 15 minutes or until the top is a light golden brown.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely before cutting into individual cookie bar pieces.
