This recipe was given to me by Mom,and she got it from a friend in 1968; so it's withstood the TEST of TIME! They have a cooky base, chopped nuts of your choice, and a brown sugar meringue topping. They just MELT in your mouth, and are so yummy, they came by the name easily!

How To Make yummies, bars, with brown sugar meringue

Step 1

Grease a 9 X 9 pan, or small rectangular pan; Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

If you want to add chopped nuts, they can be placed in the egg white mixture or spread on top of the first layer, the cooky base.
Step 3

Spread the cooky dough in the pan, top with the nuts if desired, and spread the egg white mixture over all.
Step 4

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. This does get brown, so you need to check it, and it can get a crackled top which is normal. If you under-bake it, the cooky layer is soggy, so let it get brown, but not burned on top.Cool and then cut into small bars or squares.
Step 5

THIS RECIPE CAN EASILY BE DOUBLED, AND I MADE THEM IN A JELLY ROLL PAN WHICH HOLDS THE DOUBLED RECIPE. IT THEN CAN BE CUT INTO ABOUT 36 BARS.
