Raspberry Squares

Ingredients

Bottom Layer:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup cold butter, cut up
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 tablespoon milk
2/3 cup raspberry jam

Topping Ingredients

2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut

Directions
Preheat oven to 350° and grease an 8-inch square baking pan. In a mixing bowl, stir together flour and baking powder. Cut in butter pieces with a pastry blender until coarse crumbs have formed. Gradually stir in lightly beaten eggs with a wooden spoon. Add milk; stir until all ingredients are moist and a soft dough has formed. Spread dough into the pan, pressing with fingers to reach edges of pan. Spread raspberry jam evenly over dough.

Mix together topping ingredients; spread carefully over jam layer.
Bake at 350° for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until topping is lightly browned. Cool completely in pan on rack. Cut raspberry bars into squares.
