Cheesecake Squares

These were served at a Womens Conference at church several years ago and I was grateful they gave out the recipe. Yummy!

Crust:

2/3 c. butter, softened

2/3 c. brown sugar

2 c. flour

1 c. finely chopped pecans or walnuts

Filling:

½ c. sugar

2 pkgs. 8-oz. cream cheese, softened

2 eggs

¼ c. milk

2 Tbsp. lemon juice

1 tsp. vanilla

Mix butter, brown sugar, flour, and pecans together. Reserve 2 c. for topping.

Press remainder into a greased 9”x 13” pan. Bake at 350° for 12 min. until lightly browned.

          In a mixer, blend sugar with cream cheese until smooth. Add remaining

ingredients. Spread over crust. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at

350° for about 25 min. Refrigerate overnight before cutting and serving.

Cut into 1 ½” squares. Makes 48.
