How to Make It

Step 1

*Do not add the ingredients called for in the label directions.

Step 2

Heat oven to 350º F. Lightly coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray. In a large bowl, stir together the cookie mix, butter, water, and coconut. Spread the mixture evenly in the pan and spread the jam evenly on top. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until firm in the center. Remove to a wire rack and let cool

Step 3

completely. Whisk together the sugar and enough lemon juice to make a thick but fluid glaze. Drizzle the glaze on top of the cookies in the baking pan, then cut into finger-size bars.

These are DELICIOUS! And so easy to make. Umm... they're a dessert! ? They should be sweet! These are in my go-to recipes for cookies and bars. I tried them with cherry jam and orange glaze too!

How in the world would this make 96 bars? No wonder it's only 44 calories per serving. It's baked in a 9 x 13 pan, so I guess you would have to have 12 rows of 8 bars each. They wouldn't be "finger" sized, and one wouldn't be a serving for anyone.
