List of Ingredients



• 1 1/2 cups flour
  
• 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
  
• 3/4 cup cold butter
  
• 4 eggs
  
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
  
• 1/2 cup lemon juice ( I use "Real Lemon" brand juice)
  
• 1 tsp. baking powder
  
• 3/4 cup flaked coconut
  






Instructions



1. In a bowl, combine flour and confectioner's sugar;cut in the butter until crumbly. Press into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 inch by 9 inch by 2 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
   
   
2. Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and baking powder until well mixed.
   
   
3. Pour over crust; sprinkle coconut evenly over the top.
   
   
4. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into 2" square bars.
   
   
5. NOTE: If you cover with plastic wrap, these squares get a little "mushy". It's best to cover with paper towel or refridgerate.
