I've tried this twice now and love it. It's light and chewy, and the cream cheese is like a very light frosting on the cookie. I really like to bake from "scratch", but this is one that tastes like you did, without a lot of fuss. This will go into my favorite bar cookies file! -
My mother has been making this for over 20 years and it is among our favorite desserts. After cooling to room temperature, we generally place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours so that it is easy to cut. Thanks for sharing a classic that everyone loves. -
My husand says this might be the best desert he's ever tasted. Very rich and so quick to make. -
Awsome! Everyone loved them. I was asked to make it again! Thanks for the great recipe. This has become one of the family favorites! -
I just tried this and we really liked it. I didn't have any pecans but it still tasted great. I plan on including these squares on trays for a wedding buffet. I will make again for sure. Nice and easy!

I am married and mother of 3 wonderful children. I have a 21 year old daughter and 19 year old twins, a boy and a girl. The picture above is of my granddaughter Destiny born April 5, 2007. She was a preemie and weighed 1 lb. 14 oz. at birth. She spent 73 days in NICU in the hospital She has came a long way and was 11 months and a little over 19 pounds when the picture was taken. She shows no problems at all now and is truly a miracle and I thank God for her. She is already Nana's little girl. I have a wonderful husband who is very honest with me about any dish I prepare. He is my best critic as I am sure most husbands tend to be. I love trying new recipes and love to cook. I love Taste of Home cookbooks. I like to do counted cross-stitch and recently I have rediscovered a lost love of mine; reading, especially mysteries. I can get lost in a good book for hours. Weather permitting my hubby and I like to ride on his Harley. Nothing like it! If I had a month off with no responsibilities I would travel. Love the beach!!! My dream is to retire and for my hubby and I to travel to all the places I would like to see.
