 Categories: Cookies
      Yield: 16 servings
 
    3/4 c  Light brown sugar; firmly
           Packed
    1/4 c  Unsalted butter; softened
           Salt
      1 c  Plus 2 tb flour
      1 tb Granulated sugar
      1 ts Ground cinnamon
      2 lg Firm, ripe peaches; peeled
           Pitted, thinly sliced; to
           Equal about 2 1/2 cups
      1 lg Egg white
    1/4 c  Pecans; coarsely chopped
 
     Use mixer to cream sugar, butter and generous dash of salt. Add 1 cup
  flour and mix until just combined. Reserve about 1/2 cup mixture for
  topping. Refrigerate until ready to use. Spoon remaining mixture into
  greased 9-inch square baking pan, distributing as evenly as possible. Press
  dough into thin, even layer using a piece of plastic wrap or wrapping hand
  in small plastic food bag. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned, about
  15 minutes.
      Combine 2 tablespoons flour, sugar, dash of salt and cinnamon in
  1-quart bowl. Toss peach slices with flour mixture. Closely overlap peach
  slices over slightly cooled crust. Use all peach slices. They will cook
  down. Crumble reserved topping evenly over peaches. In bowl beat egg white
  with a fork until frothy. Dab crumbs and surface with egg white. Scatter
  pecans over top. Bake at 350 degrees until lightly browned, about 50
  minutes. Cool completely on rack, then refrigerate until chilled.
      Cut chilled pastry into quarters, transfer quarters to cutting board
  and cut each into 4 squares. Serve chilled. Makes 16 (2 1/4 inch) squares.
