How to cook deliciously - Raspberry Bars with Coconut

1. Stage

Heat your oven to 350°F. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until they’re light and fluffy, five to seven minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla. In a separate bowl combine the flour and baking powder with a fork or whisk, then gradually beat the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture. Stir in the walnuts and 1 ¼ cups of the coconut.

2. Stage

Press ¾ of the dough into a greased 13x9-inch baking pan. Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over this lower crust. Sprinkle the baking chips and remaining coconut evenly over the preserves. Crumble the remaining dough over the top, and press it lightly onto the filling.

3. Stage

Bake until the upper crust is golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the pan on a wire rack, then cut them into bars.
