Categories: Cookies
     Yield: 16 servings

   3/4 c  Butter or margarine
   3/4 c  Brown sugar; packed
     1    Egg yolk
     1 ts Vanilla
 1-1/2 c  All-purpose flour
   3/4 c  Dairy sour cream
   1/4 c  Brown sugar; packed
   1/2 ts Vanilla
    16    Pecan halves; toasted
   1/2 c  Pecan, toasted; chopped

      Beat the butter or margarine in a large mixing bowl with an electric
 mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 3/4 cup brown sugar
 and beat till combined. Beat in egg yolk and the 1 teaspoon vanilla till
 combined.  Beat in as much of the flour as you can with the mixer. Stir
 in any remaining flour with a wooden spoon.

      Spread dough in a lightly greased 12-inch pizza pan, slightly
 building up the edge.  Bake in a 350°F oven for 20 minutes or till golden.

      Meanwhile, stir together sour cream, the 1/4 cup brown sugar, and the
 1/2 tsp. vanilla in a small mixing bowl.  Immediately spread over hot
 crust to within 1/2 inch of edge. Arrange pecan halves around edge of
 crust. Sprinkle with the chopped pecans.  Cool thoroughly in pan on a wire
 rack; topping will set as it cools.  Cut into wedges; serve when cooled.
 Refrigerate leftovers.

 Makes 12 to 15 servings.
