  • 0.75 cup flaked coconut

  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect temperature to work its magic.
  • Combine 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 cup of flour in a medium bowl. Add 1/3 cup of butter and mix until coarse crumbs form. Press mixture firmly into a 9x9 inch baking pan and bake in a preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool before using.
