Someone made these for my holiday cookie swap last year and they are a light, citrusy treat on a heavy buttery tray! Ingredients:
1 cup flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
5 tablespoons butter |
2 eggs (beaten) |
1/2 cup almonds (chopped) |
1 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed) |
1 1/2 cups sweetened flaked coconut |
3 cups powdered sugar |
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
4 teaspoons lime zest |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press crust into ungreased 9 inch baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Mix eggs, nuts, brown sugar, and coconut until well blended; spread over baked crust.
4. Bake an additional 30 minutes or until set.
5. While still warm, loosen the edges with a metal spatula. Mix together the powdered sugar, lime juice, and zest with a fork. Working quickly, spread the lime paste all over the top with a spatula while still warm. Let cool to room temperature and cut into bars.
