These are really tasty squares that are perfect for a tea or even a pot luck, always a hit when I make them, and easy to do! Can also be made with pineapple jam instead.

In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and salt. Cut in the butter until the lumps are smaller than peas. Mix in the egg and milk to form a dough. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Spread a layer of jam over the crust. In a medium bowl, cream together the confectioners' sugar and remaining butter. Beat in the egg and vanilla then stir in the coconut. Spread evenly over the layer of jam.

my mom has made these every Christmas for the last 35 years and are one of our family's all-time favorites. The only difference is we use granulated sugar instead of icing sugar in the topping and 2 cups coconut instead of 1 1/2 cups. Make these in a 8x8 (or 9x9) pan tho so they're nice and thick or double the recipe for a 9x13 pan Read More

These were absolutely delicious! I used water instead of milk/egg in the crust -- it brings out the saltiness more and tastes great. Also I used real sugar instead of confectioner's sugar -- yum! Read More

They are really yummy but the crust is too thin when spread in a 9x13 pan. Probably double the crust recipe makes it easier to spread too. Read More

As far as taste these are very good:) However using a 9x13 pan made the crust too thin. Next time I make this I will double the crust. As is I would recommend using an 8x8 pan and decreasing the raspberry jam. Read More

25 minutes wasn't enough for the topping to cook and my oven is usually quite hot. Also too sweet. Read More

These would be good if the base crust had some flavor to it. It was quite salty and I'm positive I followed the recipe exactly. The filling and topping were wonderful my kids and hubby picked the crust off it. It is now 2 days later and most of them have gone uneaten...that's not normal in this house...nothing I bake lasts 2 days here! Read More
