Made these today for the first time! Absolutely love them! I will save a few for myself and take the rest to work to share. I think 2 cups of powdered sugar is the right amount for me. Anything with 3-4 is usually too sweet. Thank you for adjusting recipes over time. And I love your videos. They are very well made, easy to follow along with and understand!

While I haven’t tried freezing these personally, they should freeze well. 🙂

Wow, we are so happy the bars were such a hit with the group Jim! Love the “single” comment–that’s too funny 😆 Thanks so much for always trying our recipes and coming back to share–we really appreciate it! ❤️

Hi Sam/Emily

Made these yesterday morning for one of my wife’s groups, a new members greeting. They love when I make your lemon crumb bars, so
I decided to spring this one on them.
Didn’t have to worry about the proper way of storing these. They literraly disappeared. Folks taking one for now and one for later.
Rave reviews all around, including one asking if I was single. I am sure in jest but a tribute to YOUR recipe work.

A thousand Thank you’s.
Jim

Thank you! I love all your recipes! So far I haven’t tried one I did not like. I made the Millionaire Shortbread for a dessert sale at church and I was told it was delicious! Thanks for all your hard work in creating these recipes! They are awesome! You are my go to for new recipes and replacing old ones with better ones from you!!

Hi Nancy! I’m so sorry for the confusion!! I did update this yesterday and I changed the frosting to make it less sweet. I changed it from 4 cups of powdered sugar to 2 cups and I guess I forgot to delete the 4. I’m so sorry. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🙂

Did you change the frosting recipe? I printed one several months ago and the frosting recipe is different than this one. It has unsweetened coconut and less cream cheese. Not sure on the powdered sugar as this one says 42 cups. The first one said 4 cups. Recipe is one of our favorites though the frosty was a little sweeter than we liked.
Thanks!

Hi April! They will be good in an air tight container on the counter for 2 days and after that you will want to stick them in the refrigerator. 🙂

Another wonderful recipe from Sam. These things are wonderful. I found that I had to bake the cookie base for 35 minutes, though. Since it used sweetened coconut, because I don’t think unsweetened has enough flavor, the cup that I toasted took far less time – 3 minutes before stirring, then just 5 minutes more. I decided to stir the untoasted coconut into the frosting, so it would stay on top better, and I think that was a good idea.
I don’t like artificial flavorings, so I used 1/8 tsp almond extract in the cookies and the frosting. I use almond extract in many things with nuts, too, such as pecan pie. A little of it complements the flavor of coconut and nuts nicely.
