Oatmeal Nut Bars

Oatmeal Nut Bars                                                             Nancy Harrison

½ c butter

¼ c brown sugar

¼ c granulated sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

½ c flour

½ c oatmeal

¼ tsp salt

½ cup chopped walnuts

Stir together sugars and butter; add egg and vanilla and mix. Add dry ingredients – oatmeal and nuts last. Spread or press into an 8” square pan (or if you double the recipe, use a 9X13 oblong pan). Bake at 250 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Let cool and ice with powdered sugar, half and half and vanilla icing. Garnish with additional chopped nuts.

This recipe was my dad’s favorite bar cookie recipe; I always think of him when I make them. They are rich and chewy and delicious!
