Cheesecake Cookies via Slynderdale

Slyn­derdale, a user of freenode’s phpc chan­nel posted this recipe for Cheese­cake Cook­ies and I thought it deserved a bit more than just a paste­bin entry so I decided to post it.

Cheese­cake Cook­ies
5 table spoon But­ter, soft­ened
1/3 cup Brown sugar, packed
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Sugar
1 pack 8 oz cream cheese, soft­ened
1 Egg
2 table spoon Milk
1 table spoon Lemon juice
1/2 tea spoon Vanilla

Heat over to 350.
In a medium bowl blend thor­oughly but­ter, brown sugar and flour with a fork until mix­ture resem­bles coarse crumbs. Put 1 cup of the mix­ture aside for top­ping. Press remain­ing mix­ture into an 8x8x2 inch bak­ing dish; bake for 15 min­utes.
In another bowl com­bine sugar and cream cheese, mix­ing until smooth. Thor­oughly beat in egg, milk, lemon juice and vanilla. Spread over the baked crust and sprin­kle with remain­ing brown sugar mix­ture.
Bake for 25 min­utes. Let cool, then chill for at least 1 hour. Cut into 16 squares; serve.

For an added touch, you can mix in your favorite chopped nuts or fruit into the cheese cake mix. Fresh rasp­ber­ries, bits of choco­late and such adds a added touch to the recipe.
