Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine the flour and 1/3 cup brown sugar in a mixer. Mix in the softened butter until a dough has formed. Press into an ungreased 8x8-inch baking dish, and prick with a fork.
- Bake the shortbread in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 20 minutes. While the shortbread is baking, beat the egg in a mixing bowl along with 1/3 cup brown sugar, maple syrup, and pecans. Pour the pecan mixture over the hot crust, and return to the oven. Continue baking until firmed, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and immediately run a knife around the edges to prevent sticking. Cool completely, then cut into 1-inch squares to serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your maple pecan squares will turn out. Use pure maple syrup, fresh pecans, and unsalted butter for the best results.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the squares until they are just set: Overbaking will make the squares dry. Bake them until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Let the squares cool completely before cutting them: This will help them to hold their shape.
- Store the squares in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the squares for up to 2 months.
