Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup raspberry jam or preserves
1/4 cup fresh raspberries (optional)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, shredded coconut, sugar, salt, and baking powder.
Add the softened butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until the dough comes together.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan to form the base layer.
Spread a thin layer of raspberry jam or preserves over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Optionally, sprinkle fresh raspberries on top of the jam layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are slightly crisp.
Allow the squares to cool completely before cutting them into squares.
