Coconut Lemon Bars

My son only had three requests while he was home on leave. Chili, perogies, and lemon bars...  So I had to make sure I made all of them for him.

Coconut Lemon Bars

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup confectioners sugar (powdered sugar)
3/4 cup cold margarine or butter
4 eggs slightly beaten
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup lemon juice
3/4 cups coconut flakes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In medium bowl, combine flour and confectioners sugar.  Cut in the margarine until crumbly.  Press onto bottom of lightly greased 9x13 baking pan.  Bake for 15 minutes.  Remove from oven.

In a large bowl, mix eggs, granulated sugar, baking powder, and lemon juice.  Pour over crust.  Top with coconut.  Bake for an additional 20 minutes or until golden brown.  Let cool and cut into squares.  Store in refrigerator.  Depending on the size you cut the bars, it makes 30 bars.
