MY MOM'S LEMON BARS ARE BETTER THAN YOUR MOM'S LEMON BARS

Steps:

• Mix crust ingredients together.
• Pat mixture into a 9x13-inch pan.
• Bake 20 minutes at 350°F.
• While crust is baking, combine these filling ingredients first: beaten eggs, sugar, and lemon juice.
• Gradually add flour and baking powder to the mixture.
• Mix well until "frothy".
• Immediately after taking crust out of oven, pour in filling.
• Bake 20-25 minutes at 350°F
• Tip: Watch filling at 20 minutes - it should turn a little brown spotted on top, but not a lot.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar when cool.

MAMA'S LEMON SOUR COOKIE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°.
• Mix the flour and butter together until it resembles a very fine crumb.
• Sprinkle evenly into the bottom of an 11 X 7" pan, and pat lightly to smooth out any lumps.
• Bake for 10 minutes at 350°.
• Meanwhile beat the eggs, and mix in the brown sugar, nuts, coconut, vanilla and baking powder.
• Spread this mixture onto the baked crust as soon as you take it from the oven.
• Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes at 350°.
• Mix the lemon rind and juice with the confectioner's sugar to make a creamy glaze.
• Spread the lemon glaze evenly over the top of the hot cookie mixture as soon as you take it from the oven.
• Cool completely before cutting into squares.
• Store in an airtight container as the lemon glaze will dry out if left out for more than a day.
• (This is not usually a problem because there are never any leftovers!)**I use the Angel Flake coconut in the can or the bag.
• Any brand of moist, flaked coconut will do, but you do not want to use the dry, shredded coconut for this recipe.
