A tart lemon icing pairs well with these rich bars that resemble pecan pie. Everyone loves them whenever I take them to work or potlucks.

Ingredients

1/2 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
2 eggs
1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar

Directions

In a small bowl, cut butter into 1 cup flour until crumbly. Press into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, beat the eggs, brown sugar and vanilla until blended. Combine the baking powder, salt and remaining flour; gradually add to egg mixture. Stir in pecans and coconut. Spread over warm crust. Bake for 25 minutes or until set. Cool on a wire rack.
For glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice; spread over bars. Let set before cutting.
