My Grandmother Addie made these bars for family picnics and enjoyed watching her grandchildren try to resist them. But all it took was just one bite...then one bar didn't seem to satisfy. They disappeared in a flash.—Mary Nickerson, Ellington, Connecticut

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • 1/3 cup seedless raspberry jam
  • TOPPING:
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour and baking powder. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Combine egg and milk; stir into crumb mixture just until moistened.
  2. Press into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
