Ingredients

1 egg

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/2 cup flour

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 cup chopped walnuts

Preparation

Combine egg, brown sugar, and vanilla; mix thoroughly. Mix together flour, salt, and baking soda and stir into brown sugar mixture. Stir in nuts. Spread in greased 8 inch square pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in pan on rack, then cut into 1 1/2 inch bars. (Chews are soft when warm.)

Note: A very quick, easy recipe for no-fat cookies with crisp crust and chewy sweet walnut centers.
