Frosted Raisin Bars image

aka Coffee Raisin Bars. A good "olde" recipe from the 50's. Posted in answer to a request. We've been enjoying these for years. One of those old-fashioned cookie bars people always like. Not elegant or gorgeous but just plain good.

Time 50m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup raisins
1 cup coffee (weak or strong) or 1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup shortening or 1/3 cup oleo
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon clove
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons oleo
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 pinch salt
enough warm coffee to make frosting spreadable on warm cookie

Steps:

  • Combine the liquid ingredients in pot, Bring to boil, boil 5 minutes, then let cool.
  • Combine the dry ingredients.
  • Mix dry ingredients with cooled ingredients.
  • Spread in greased floured 11 x 15 pan.
  • If batter is too thick, thin with sherry or rum or water before spreading.
  • Bake in a 350 oven for 20 minutes approximately
  • Spread frosting on warm cake.
  • I think you could adjust any of the spices to your own taste, but we liked it as is.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bars turned out really dry. I think I may have overcooked them.

These bars were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out as good as I expected. The frosting was too runny.
