bar cookies

Guess what I made up a cookie receipe because the jam we bought last year (sugar free) has turned to wine. In the refrig no less. So what was I going to do with this jam that was expensive. So I dreamed up this receipe. 2 cups flour 2 sticks butter (I used margerine) 1/2 cup of sugar. Mix all together with your hands until it looks crumbly. Pat into a 13 x 9" inch pan and bake for 12 minutes. While that is baking mix 1 cup flour and 1 stick margerine like the above and when crumbly add 3/4 cup coconut and nuts (oppional) and 1/2 cup choc. chips. Remove pan from oven when done and let cook for a few minutes. Pour over this mixture any kind of jam you have and spread evenly. On top of this sprinkle 2 cups of choc. chips and then the cup of crumbled coconut mixture and return to oven and bake another 30 minutes. It really turned out great. And if my husband liked it (he likes almost anything) I am sure all of you will too. Have a great day.
