A very slight variation on my recipe, which has the same crust, 1 cup bnrown sugar instead, 1 cup coconut instead, no nuts, no baking soda. I think the nuts are a nice idea. I also add almond extract to the filling mixture and frost. Mine from the Pillsbury cookie cookbook. A pretty,; fancy bar cookie.

I love to cook and so I am thrilled that I found recipezaar. I work as an educational assistant in a food school so I am around food all day long. I have four children, three of which have already flown the coop so to speak but I still have my 'baby' at home. (He's 21). I am lucky in that I have my summers off so I spend a lot of time trying new recipes and catching up on my reading. I also play soccer in a ladies league to stay in shape.
