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 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 cup brown sugar
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

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.
