From Around The Family Table

These taste like little cheesecakes.

1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Beat butter, sugar until fluffy. Sift flour, add to the butter mixture, along with the nuts. Blend with fingers. Set aside 1 cup of the mixture. Press remainder into a greased 8" pan. Bake at 350°F for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden. Cool.

One 8-oz. package cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp. milk
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. vanilla

Mix cheese and sugar. Add all else. Spread over baked crust. Sprinkle reserved crumbs on top. Bake at 350°F for
35 minutes. Cool.
