Cheesecake Cookie Squares

Directions

With a pastry cutter, blend whole wheat flour, brown sugar, and butter to make a crumbly mixture. Stir in chopped nuts or seeds. Reserve ½ cup of the mixture for topping.

Press remaining crumbs into an 8 inch square baking dish that has been lightly oiled. Bake at 350℉ (180℃). for 12 to 15 minutes.

Beat filling ingredients until smooth and pour over the prepared crust.

Sprinkle with the reserved crumb mixture. Add fruit or nuts over top and bake at 350℉ (180℃). for 25 minutes.

Cool and then refrigerate. Cut into 2 inch squares. Store in the refrigerator.
