Cream Cheese Cookies

Ingredients

• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• ¼ cup margarine or butter, softened
• 1 cup Bisquick baking mix
• ½ cup chopped walnuts
• 1 pkg 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 2 tsp milk
• ½ tsp vanilla
• 1 egg

Method

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a square pan, 8x8x2 inches. Beat the brown sugar and margarine until fluffy. Stir in the baking mix and walnuts until the mixture is crumbly; reserve 1 cup. Press the remaining mixture in the pan. Bake 12 minutes.
2. Mix the cream cheese and granulated sugar; beat in the remaining ingredients until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture over the layer in the pan; sprinkle with the reserved crumbly mixture. Bake until the center is firm, about 25 minutes. Cut into about 2-inch squares. Store the cookies in the refrigerator.
