1/3 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder

1 cup white sugar
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon butter, softened

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
In a large bowl, beat eggs and vanilla until smooth. Mix together the 1/3 cup butter, 1 cup white sugar, flour, baking powder and baking soda; stir into the egg mixture. Fold in pecans and nuts. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool loaf in pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
To make the filling: In a small bowl, mix the cookies with 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup chopped nuts. Spread mixture on top of loaf. Remove loaf from pan. Refrigerate 1 hour before cutting into squares.
