HARRIET'S COOKIES (BROWN SUGAR SHORTBREAD BARS WITH CHOCOLATE)
My mother has been making these since I was a child. I had no idea how easy they were until I asked her for the recipe. She got the recipe back in the 1960's from her friend Harriet. Few ingredients and delicious!

Steps:
- Cream the butter and brown sugar.
- Mix in the egg yolk and vanilla.
- Add the flour and salt.
- spread in an 9 X 13 baking dish. I like to put parchment in the bottom of the pan.
- Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes.
- Immediately after taking it out of the oven, put the chocolate bar on top to melt.
- Spread the chocolate all over the bar (you can add tidbits on top of the chocolate - toasted pecans and Heath Bar bits are both good).
- Cut diagonally.

BROWN SUGAR SHORTBREAD BARS
A light and tasty treat from Cooking LIght. The cooking light recipe said that this makes 24 bars. I disagree, I cut my bars big enough for 12. Not as light, but more than a bite.
