Cookie Layer:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 inch square baking pan.
Use an electric mixer on medium speed to beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add egg and vanilla; mix well. Reduce speed to low; gradually add flour, pecans and salt; mix just until combined. Transfer mixture to prepared pan; press evenly into the bottom of the pan. Bake 15 - 20 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Set aside to cool slightly.
Topping:
Combine corn syrup, brown sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla and salt until thoroughly mixed; stir in pecans. Pour topping mixture over cookie layer. Bake 35 - 40 minutes, or until topping is set. Remove pan from the oven and place on a wire rack.
Sprinkle chocolate chips over the topping; allow chips to sit for about 5 minutes, then spread chocolate over the topping. Cool completely. Cut into 16 bars.
16 servings.
*The pecans can be toasted to add a little more flavor, if desired. Place pecans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Cool before using.
