This recipe comes from a friend of my mother’s. I like it because the red maraschino cherries make it Christmasy. It has a buttery taste complemented by a toasted coconut flavor. Also–it’s easy to make.

Cherry-Coconut Bars

Pastry: 1 cup sifted flour, 1/2 cup butter, 3 tablespoons confectioner’s sugar

Filling: 2 eggs slightly beaten, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 3/4 cup chopped nuts (optional), 1/2 cup coconut, 1/2 cup quartered maraschino cherries ( I use red, but you can use green).

Heat oven to 350 degrees. Mix pastry ingredients with hands until smooth,. Pat into bottom of an 8 inch square pan with your fingers. Bake about 25 minutes.

Stir the rest of the ingredients into the slightly beaten eggs. Spread over the top of the baked pastry. Bake about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan. Cut into bars. Makes about 18.

Enjoy.
