QOTW: What are your favorite holiday cookies? Recipe

[Guest guest]

California Dream Bars

 

First layer:

 

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup melted butter

1 cup sifted flour

 

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Mix and press firmly onto the the

bottom & sides of an ungreased 8x12 pan. Bake about 15 minutes.

Cool a little.

 

Second layer

 

2 eggs

1 cup brown sugar, packed

1 cup pecans, broken

1 cup shredded coconut

1 T flour

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

 

Mix this layer while the crust is cooling. Beat eggs until blended.

Mix in the remaining ingredients. Spread over the first layer.

Return to the oven and bake about 15 minutes. Cool and cut into

bars.

 

These aren't really Christmas-y in ingredients or appearance, but

this is the only time of year that my mom bakes them, so *we* think

they're Christmas cookies.
