Provided by Carol Myers

5 Tbs butter, softened
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup flour
1/2 cup sugar
1 (8 ounce) package, cream cheese, softened
1 egg
2 Tbs milk
1 Tbs lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla

Heat oven to 350 degrees.  In a medium sized bowl, blend together butter, brown sugar, and flour until the 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 crumbs.  Bake for 25 minutes.  Let cool, then chill for at least one hour.  Cut into 16 squares and serve.
