Harriet's Cookies (Brown Sugar Shortbread Bars With Chocolate) image

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!

Time 30m

Yield 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 egg yolk
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
9 ounces milk chocolate candy bars or 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips

  • 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.
