From Land O'Lakes. I substitute pecans for the macadamia nuts. I include these in my Christmas cookie gift tins and they are always very popular. Ingredients:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup butter, cut into pieces |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest |
2 -3 tablespoons orange juice |
1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut |
2/3 cup macadamia nuts or 2/3 cup pecans, coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries |
1/3 cup sugar |
2 eggs, slightly beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350°F Combine all crust ingredients in small bowl. Beat at low speed until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press into ungreased 8 square baking pan. Bake for 15-17 minutes or until lightly browned.
2. Combine all filling ingredients in medium bowl until well mixed. Carefully spread filling over hot, partially baked crust. Bake 22-27 minutes or until golden brown.
3. Combine powdered sugar, orange pee and enough orange juice for desired glazing consistency in small bowl. Drizzle glaze over warm bars. Cool completely.
