1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
½ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup brown sugar
½ cup butter flavor shortening (Crisco is good)
1 egg, slightly beaten
3 tablespoons sifted baking cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups icing sugar
3 tablespoons milk or 3 tablespoons half-and-half

1
Set oven to 375 degrees.

Coat bottom and sides of an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with soft butter (about 2 Tbsps).
3
In a bowl, mix all ingredients except the icing sugar, cream and butter.
4
Press three quarters of the mixture into the prepared baking pan.
5
(if desired, sprinkle with tiny chocolate chips or nuts or both on top of the crust).
6
In a saucepan, combine the powdered sugar, vanilla, milk (I like to use whipping cream in place of milk for a thicker texture) and the butter; until melted and combined.
7
Pour the melted mixture over the crumbled mixture in the baking pan.
8
Sprinkle with the remaining crumb mixture (the mixture does not have to cover completely).
9
Bake for 25-30 minutes.
