I make these for my dad all the time, he generally burns his tongue on them because he can't wait to taste them! I got this recipe from the Betty Crocker Cookbook.
Ingredients:
3/4 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup shortening (half margarine or butter softened)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or 1 1/2 cups wheat flour
2 eggs
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts (can substitute 1 cup chopped pecans for walnuts and coconut)
1/2 cup flaked coconut
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons margarine or 2 tablespoons butter, melted
3 tablespoons orange juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350. Mix powdered sugar and shortening. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of flour. Press in ungreased oblong pan 13x9x2 inches. Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
2. Mix remaining ingredients. Spread over baked layer. Bake 20 minutes; cool. Frost with Orange Lemon Frosting if desired.
