Their fruity filling and fluffy coconut topping make these bars truly one of a kind. They really dress up my trays of Christmas goodies.
Ingredients:
1-1/4 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1-1/4 cups quick-cooking oats

1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup butter, melted
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup strawberry preserves
1/2 cup flaked coconut
