cheesecake bars
(2 RATINGS)
This recipe comes from the Farm Journal's Cookbook. When my aunt passed away I thought many of her recipes went with her. She must have had a copy of this cook book because I found quite a few of her recipes in my copy. These bar cookies remind me of cheesecake but not quite. The walnuts and brown sugar give it a different taste. It makes a small 8x8 batch but you can easily double it for a 13x11 pan.
