Time 1h

Yield 36 squares

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 pinch salt
1 cup medium grind coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup candied cherries or 1/2 cup maraschino cherry (at least)
1 cup icing sugar
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon water

Steps:

  • FIRST LAYER: Crumble ingredients together well.
  • Press into ungreased 9 x 9 inch pan.
  • Bake in preheated 350F oven for 15 minutes.
  • SECOND LAYER: Beat eggs slightly; add remaining ingredients in the order listed.
  • If using maraschino cherries, drain well.
  • I prefer using candied cherries- at Christmas, I use a mixture of red& green.
  • Spread over first layer& return to oven for 25 minutes.
  • Let cool completely.
  • TOP LAYER: Beat ingredients in a small bowl, adding more water if necessary to make a more spreadable mixture.
  • This makes a minimum amount of icing to spread over top.

CHERRY SQUARES

I got this recipe from my mother--she used to make it for club meetings and church functions when I was younger. Now my kids like it too! One thing to note--there is no baking soda or baking powder in this recipe--the beaten eggs make it rise.
