This recipe was given to me by Mom,and she got it from a friend in 1968; so it's withstood the TEST of TIME! They have a cooky base, chopped nuts of your choice, and a brown sugar meringue topping. They just MELT in your mouth, and are so yummy, they came by the name easily!

Ingredients

FIRST MIX FLOUR, BAKING POWDER AND SALT
1 3/4 c flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
IN A SEPARATE BOWL PLACE BUTTER, AND BEAT WITH GRANULATED SUGAR.
ADD EGG YOLKS AND WHOLE EGG, AND VANILLA AND MIX WELL.
1 stick butter, softened
1 c granulated sugar
2 egg yolks, reserve whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 whole egg
MIX THE DRY INGREDIENTS INTO THE BUTTER MIXER. THIS WILL BE A VERY STIFF DOUGH, I USE A STAND MIXER.
IN A SEPARATE BOWL BEAT EGG WHITES UNTIL STIFF, AND MIX IN BROWN SUGAR
2 egg whites
1 c light brown sugar
1 pkg 8 oz. of chopped walnuts or pecans; optional

Steps:

1. Grease a 9 X 9 pan, or small rectangular pan; Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
2. If you want to add chopped nuts, they can be placed in the egg white mixture or spread on top of the first layer, the cooky base.
3. Spread the cooky dough in the pan, top with the nuts if desired, and spread the egg white mixture over all.
4. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. This does get brown, so you need to check it, and it can get a crackled top which is normal. If you under-bake it, the cooky layer is soggy, so let it get brown, but not burned on top.Cool and then cut into small bars or squares.
5. THIS RECIPE CAN EASILY BE DOUBLED, AND I MADE THEM IN A JELLY ROLL PAN WHICH HOLDS THE DOUBLED RECIPE. IT THEN CAN BE CUT INTO ABOUT 36 BARS.

Tips:

For a chewy meringue, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. If the meringue is too soft, it will not hold its shape when baked.
To prevent the meringue from browning, bake it at a low temperature (250 degrees Fahrenheit) for a longer period of time. If the meringue is baked at too high of a temperature, it will brown quickly and become tough.
To make sure the bars are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the pan. If the toothpick comes out clean, the bars are done. If the toothpick comes out with batter or meringue on it, the bars need to be baked for a few minutes longer.
Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 2 months.
