Peach-Pecan Bars

From Southern Living Magazine

3/4 up chopped pecans
1 16.5oz package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1 cup peach preserves
2 tsp cornstarch
Powdered Sugar

Preheat oven to 350.

Place pecans in a single layer on a shallow pan. Bake 8-10 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring once after five minutes.

Divide cookie dough into 3 equal pieces, and press evenly onto bottom of a lightly greased 11x 7 baking dish. Sprinkle evenly with pecans pressing into dough. Bake at for 20 minutes or until edges are golden brown.

Bring peach preserves and cornstarch to a boil in a small saucepan. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Pour preserve mixture evenly over warm crust.

Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from over, and cool on a wire rack for 20 minutes. Sprinkle evenly with powdered sugar, and cut into bars.
