published by ceegirl on Jun 21, 2011
Chewy cookies with a brown buttery crust. Good keepers, too! Try them sometime without the icing or topped with a scoop of ice cream.
3/4 cup shortening (half butter or margarine)
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 1/2 cups Gold Medal flour
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup flaked coconut
Orange-Lemon Icing (below)
Method: Heat oven to 350 degrees. Cream shortening and confectioners’ sugar. Blend in 1 1/2 cups flour. Press mixture in bottom of ungreased baking pan, 13×9x2 inches. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Mix remaining ingredients; spread over hot baked layer. Bake 20 minutes longer. While warm, spread with Orange-Lemon Icing. Cool; cut into bars, about 2×1 inch. 32 bars.
Orange-Lemon Icing: Mix 1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar, 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted, 3 tablespoons orange juice and 1 teaspoon lemon juice until smooth.
