Cookie Crust:
1/4 c butter or margarine -- softened
1/4 c packed light brown sugar
1/4 c solid vegetable shortening
1 lg egg yolk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/8 tsp salt
1 c all-purpose flour
Cream Cheese Filling:
2 Tbsp Sugar
4 oz light cream cheese -- softened

Heat oven to 350. Have ready a cookie sheet and a flat serving plate or
a flat serving board.

Crust: Put butter, sugar, shortening, egg yolk, vanilla and salt into a
medium bowl or food processor. Stir or pulse to mix well. Add flour
and stir or pulse until well blended. Remove processor blade.

Put a 12-inch square of foil on work surface and sprinkle lightly with
flour. Gather dough into a ball and place in center of foil. With a
floured rolling pin, roll dough to a 9 - 9 1/2-inch circle. Put a
9-inch cake pan or plate on the dough and cut around it with a knife to
trim the crust to an even 9 inches.

Fold up about 1/2 inch dough around edge to form a rim. Crimp rim with
fingers. Slide foil onto a cookie sheet. Prick bottom of dough all
over with a fork. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 10
minutes on cookie sheet, then slide foil onto a cooling rack. Let
cookie cool completely.

NO MORE THAN 30 MINUTES BEFORE SERVING: Slide cookie from foil onto
serving plate. Stir sugar into cream cheese just until well blended.
Spread over crust, top with fruit and sprinkle with confectioner's
sugar.
