Hungarian Cookie Bars

Bayhill's Note:

Posted for the Zaar World Tour 2006-Hungary. I haven't tried this recipe, but it seems to be a very quick and easy cookie to make. These bars are sticky and gooey and similar to a walnut pie.

• Total Time: 55 mins
• Prep Time: 30 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 12 cookies

• 1 ¾ cups brown sugar , packed
• ½ cup margarine , softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease a 9" square baking pan; set aside.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together 3/4 cup of the brown sugar and the margarine. Add vanilla and flour; mix well. Pat this mixture into the bottom of the baking pan.
3. In a small bowl, beat the eggs until foamy. Add the remaining 1 cup brown sugar; mix well. Pour into the pan over the first mixture. Sprinkle the nuts evenly over the top.

Yum! These are wonderful and easy to make! I took these to a little picnic and they were a hit! I used chopped pecans. Made for ZWT4 and the Tastebud Tickling Travellers.

So easy to make and so easy to eat. We used chopped walnuts. The bars are very nice, but just a bit too sweet for our taste buds.

Fast, easy, and oh so gooey- YUM! Definitely a recipe you will want to repeat. I used finely chopped pecans and they were like little pecan pie bites. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT4
