My mother always made these bar cookies during the holidays. They were at the top of the cookie list. It wouldn't have been Christmas without them. They are addictive! Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup butter |
1 egg yolk |
2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons milk |
3/4 cup thick raspberry jam |
2 eggs |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
6 tablespoons melted butter |
2 1/2 cups flaked coconut |
Directions:
1. Sift flour with salt, 1 tsp sugar and baking powder.
2. Blend in butter (not the melted butter).
3. Add egg yolk and brandy or milk and mix.
4. Pat into a buttered 11x7x2 inch pan.
5. Spread with jam.
6. Beat eggs until thick and lemon colored.
7. Beat in 1 1/2 cups of sugar, vanilla and melted butter.
8. Add coconut.
9. Spoon over jam.
10. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 35 minutes.
11. Cool thoroughly before attempting to cut.
12. I usually make this at least a day in advance and refrigerate or freeze the pan.
