Description

These are lovely little morsels that are a brilliant combination of sweet with a hint of tart (thanks raspberry jam!). And who doesn’t love a shortbread crust?

Ingredients

  • FOR THE SHORTBREAD CRUST:
  • 1 cup Butter, At Room Temperature
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg
  • ½ teaspoons Vanilla
  • 2 cups Flour
  • _____
  • FOR THE TOPPING:
  • 1 cup Raspberry Jam
  • ¼ cups Melted Butter
  • 1-⅓ cup Sweetened Coconut (plus A Handful For Sprinkling)
  • 2 Eggs Slightly Beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar

Preparation

Start by making the shortbread crust. Cream together 1 cup butter and 1 cup sugar until fluffy.

Add 1 egg, vanilla and flour and blend well.

Pat the mixture into a well greased 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking pan.

Slather raspberry jam over the shortbread crust.

Mix together the melted butter, coconut, 2 eggs and tsp of sugar.

Spread this evenly over the layer of jam.

Sprinkle a generous handful of coconut over the top.

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.

Cool in pan and then cut into bars.

like a previous writer I found the shortbread “wet & soft”. I cooked it for the full time so what did I do wrong??

These TASTE wonderful, however my shortbread crust was very soft. I expected more of a firm shortbread — did I do something wrong? Does the shortbread need to be pre-baked?

These were awesome. Made two big batches for a party and were a huge hit. I made the batch a little bigger and spread it out in a half sheet pan. They were great! And they freeze really well, too.

These were fabulous. I volunteer with a seniors ladies group and I am always looking for nice
little squares/cookies that can be eaten with coffee while they play canasta. This was so easy and
delicious. There was no one crumb left. Next time I will have to make two pans. The only thing I different was that I chose to ‘sieved’ the raspberry jam as the seeds bother these ladies’ bridgework.

I have my second batch in of these bars and am very pleased with the outcome!

The shortbread is tasty and the perfect consistency. The balance of sweet and tart is ideal for a dessert.

I actually used blackberry preserves instead of raspberry and it’s delicious.

Thank you for sharing your recipe!

What a treat! I just made these for a family gathering, and after sampling one (you know, just to make sure they’re worthy of my guests!), I can’t wait for more. Simple, yummy, and unique enough to stand out on the dessert table. Thank you for sharing!
