Title: Black Walnut Bars
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 servings

1 c Light brown sugar
Lightly packed
1 c Butter or margarine
1 1/2 c All purpose flour
Top layer:
2 c Light brown sugar; lightly
Packed
4 lg Eggs; well beaten
2 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Salt
2 tb Flour
1/2 ts Baking powder
3 c Black walnuts; chopped

Cream the sugar and butter together in a large bowl until well creamed
then add the flour thoroughly. Spread evenly in a greased 9x13-inch pan.
Bake in a preheated 350~ oven for 5 minutes. It will look bubbly with holes
all over, but this is fine. Let cool while making the top layer.
For the top, cream the brown sugar and eggs together until light and
fluffy. Add the vanilla. Sift the salt, flour, and baking powder together
in another bowl and add to the egg mixture. Fold in the nuts and pour over
the baked bottom layer. Return to oven and bake at 350~ for 20 minutes or
until light brown on top and firm to the touch. Cool and cut into bars. DO
not cut them too thin or they will crumble. These keep well if stored in an
airtight container. Yield 3-4 dozen 1x2-inch bars.
Note. If you cant find black walnuts regular walnuts or pecans can be
used.
