Pecan Angel Slices
(from Joy of Cooking 1975 Edition)
Cream together until well-blended: ½ cup butter and ¼ cup sugar
Beat in well: 1 egg and ½ teasp vanilla
Combine and add to the above: 1 ¼ cup sifted flour and 1/8 teasp salt
Pat dough evenly into a greased 9×12 inch pan and bake at 350 ° for fifteen minutes. Remove from oven.
Combine: 2 beaten eggs, 1 ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup flaked cocoanut, 1 cup chopped pecans, 2 Tbsp. flour, ½ teasp double acting baking powder, ½ teasp salt and 1 teasp vanilla.
Pour over cookie layer and return to oven for 25 minutes
Combine 1 ½ cup sifted confectioner’s sugar with sufficient lemon juice to make a smooth, runny glaze. Pour over warm cookie/pecan/coconut layer and allow to set.
When cool, cut into bars or squares. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays … and bon appetite!
Yum!
My blood sugar spiked just looking at the picture. Does anyone have a drool bucket?
*here* (hands Joe the drool bucket) They are very good, and very rich; the perfect combination of butter cookie, eggy-sweet coconut and pecan … and the tang of lemon glaze. One of our neighbors said they weren’t able to control themselves – they ate them all in 24 hours.
Sounds tasty. Will try. Last year I tried Neoneocon’s lebkuchen. Delicious.
That reminds me; I will have to try out Neo’s lebkuchen sometime…
