Janet's Dream Bars
Ingredients
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F.
- Cookie Crust: In a small bowl, cream butter and sugar.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt, baking powder.
- Add to butter/sugar mixture.
- (The original directions specify that the butter and sugar should be creamed together with a wooden spoon, by hand; and the flour mixture should also be worked in by hand.
- I don't do that -- I use my Kitchenaid mixer).
- Pat into bottom of a 13 x 9 pan.
- Bake 10 minutes or until golden.
- Cool on wire rack.
- Filling: In a small bowl, beat eggs until light with an electric mixer.
- Gradually beat in sugar.
- Add vanilla, flour, salt, and baking powder; beating just until combined.
- Stir in coconut and nuts.
- Spread evenly over cooled crust.
- Bake 25 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch.
- Cool slightly.
- Cut into bars while still warm.
