Meringue Squares - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup butter
    1 cup white sugar
    2 eggs
    1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 cup chopped walnuts
    1 egg white
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
    Cream together butter or margarine and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
    In another bowl, sift flour, salt, and baking powder together. Blend in to the creamed mixture, and then add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the dough.
    Spread dough in 9 x 13 inch greased baking pan, and sprinkle chopped nuts over top.
    In a small mixing bowl, beat egg white until stiff but not dry. Add brown sugar and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla to the whipped egg white, and beat thoroughly. Spread meringue over the dough and nuts already in the pan.
    Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 20 to 30 minutes. Cool, and cut into bars.
