Time 1h10m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup butter (softened)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup flour
1 pinch salt
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 large egg
1 large egg white
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries or 1 1/2 cups frozen cranberries
1/2 cup shredded coconut
powdered sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350?F. Spray 8x8-inch pan with nonstick spray.
  • Prepare base: In a medium bowl, beat butter and sugar until creamy. Stir in flour and salt until well combined and crumbly. Press into the bottom of prepared pan. Bake about 12 minutes until just barely golden around the edges.
  • Prepare topping: In the same bowl (no need to wash it) combine sugar, flour, baking powder and salt. Add egg and egg white, lemon juice and stir until well-blended and smooth.
  • Smooth cranberries and coconut evenly over the base. Pour lemon filling over top. Bake 40 to 45 minutes until golden and set. Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
  • Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if using, before cutting into squares.

I'm not sure why these squares are called 'to die for'. They're good, but they're not that amazing.

These squares were a bit too sweet for my taste, but I was able to reduce the amount of sugar in the recipe and they turned out great.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my squares didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The crust was too dry and the filling was too runny.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I loved these squares! The cranberry filling is tart and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with the sweet coconut crust.

I had some trouble finding unsweetened coconut, but I was able to find a sweetened version that worked just as well.
