INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 350'

Line a 9 by 13 baking pan with parchment paper that hangs over the sides so you can lift the whole cookie out after baking.

For crust:

Stir with heavy spoon or use a hand mixer. Combine all crust ingredients just until a smooth dough forms.

Pat dough evenly with fingertips in the bottom of your baking dish to form a crust. You can come up the sides slightly but not necessary.

Bake 20 minutes until lightly brown. Remove from oven. Set aside.

For filling:

Mix together all ingredients and pour over crust

Bake until filling is set approx 25-30 mins

Remove from oven and let cool completely

For glaze: optional

Stir all ingredients together adding lime juice one tablespoon at a time until a thick slightly pourable glaze is reached. It should not take much juice.

Pour and/or spread over cooled cookie

Let glaze set up approx 30 mins then lift entire cookie out of the pan and place on a cutting board.

Cut into bars of your preferred size

NOTES

This amount of filling wiill give a good ratio of filling to crust. If you want to make this recipe in an 8 by 8 baking dish then you will need to cut the ingredients of the filling in half and cut the flour in the crust to 1 cup.
