ingredients


Crust

1 cup flour
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened

Filling

1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup maraschino cherries, drained and chopped
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans, finely chopped

directions

For Crust: Hear oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine flour and powdered sugar. Using a fork or pastry blender, cut in the butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Press this firmly into a 9" ungreased pan (the recipe says ungreased, but I always spray a little Pam in the pan). Bake for 10 minutes.

For Filling: In small bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add eggs, beat well. Stir in cherries, coconut and nuts. Spread over crust.

Return to oven and bake 25-30 minutes until golden brown on top. Cool completely then cut into small bars. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.

NOTE: When spreading the filling over the crust, use a fork and do it gently as the crust may lift, but just pat it down and continue. These are very tasty and pretty.

  1. jackalin11 REVIEW:

    These little bars are awesome and pack a very flavorful punch! Although a little more spendy to make, you can usually get 2 or 3 batches out of the ingredients you buy :)I am still playing with this recipe as mine still come out a bit dry, but they are still yummy! A big hit with my boyfriend and roommate :)
