Cheesecake Cookies

This is a recipe I got from Aunt Donnie when we were vacationing in California as newlyweds.

1/3 cup butter or margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 cup flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add flour and nuts and blend until resembles crumbs. Set aside one cup of mixture. Press remaining mixture into 8-inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 12 to 15 minutes. Combine cream cheese and sugar and beat until smooth. Add egg, milk, lemon juice and vanilla and beat well. Spread over baked crumb crust. Sprinkle reserved 1 cup crumbs over top. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 25 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
