Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
Grease and flour-dust a 10x15 inch rimmed baking pan. Spread the mixture evenly in the pan (it will be very thin and it makes thin bars). Bake at 350 for 25 minutes or till just lightly browned - don't overbake!
Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes. Prepare Lemon Glaze and spread over cookies. Let cool completely, then cut into bars.
LEMON GLAZE: stir 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 Tablespoons lemon juice until smooth

These freeze beautifully.
