T&T Recipe: "Coconut Lime Sours"....an awsome bar cookie.

This came from a show on Food TV called “Calling All Cooks” a long time ago. If I posted it before I am sorry but as slow as this bb is with my dial up I am not going hunting to find out LOL. I happened to run across this while looking for something else and decided to post for anyone who didn’t see it.
It is the best bar cookie I have ever eaten (wish I had one now LOL).

Coconut Lime Sours

2 cups flour

4 Tbs. Sugar

1/8 tsp. Salt

¼ pound (1 stick), plus 2 ½ Tbs. Margarine

4 eggs, beaten

1 cup almonds, chopped

2 cups light brown sugar, firmly packed

3 cups sweetened flaked coconut

1 ½ cups powdered sugar

2 Tbs. Fresh lime juice

2 tsp. Lime zest

Preheat oven to 350° F.

Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut in margarine until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press crust into ungreased 10x15-inch baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Mix eggs, nuts, brown sugar and coconut until well blended; spread over baked crust.

Bake an additional 30 minutes or until set.

While still warm, loosen the edges with a metal spatula. Mix together the powdered sugar, lime juice and zest with a fork. Working quickly, spread the lime paste all over the top with a spatula while still warm. Let cool to room temperature and cut into bars. Cut 11 cuts crosswise and 3 cuts lengthwise.

Wow I really need to myself a few limes.

 These sound really good Jan! Thanks for posting!

Thank you Redawna and Carol. They are awesome if you like sweet and tart things, YUM! Wish I wasn’t dieting so I could make these this weekend.

Gotta put limes on the grocery list!!!!!!

Thanks Jan these sound great.  I use to love that show.  I also liked Food Finds that isn't on any longer...

This sounds really good.  I have a thing for limes!

I made these last night--they are wonderful! I didn't have lime, but had lemons, so that's what I used. If you didn't have citrus, I bet a drizzle of white chocolate on top would also be good!

I haven’t been on for a couple of days and just found this, sorry.

Thanks for bumping Redawna, you’re a doll.

Hey Sherry, miss you my dear friend!

Marlene, “Calling all Cooks” was my favorite show.

CJCarrell, I love lemon or lime anything pretty much. I better since I have a lemon tree that doesn’t know when enough is enough but makes my friends and neighbors happy LOL.

aubie2 I’m glad to hear you made these and liked them. I think anything sweet drizzled on them would be good.
