Ingredients: 1 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar 3 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut Zest of 1 lime 1 tablespoon lime juice For the Lime Glaze: 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar 2 tablespoons lime juice Zest of 1 lime (for garnish) Directions: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhangs for easy removal. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Fold in the shredded coconut, lime zest, and lime juice until evenly distributed. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan. While the bars cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lime juice until smooth. Once the bars are cool, drizzle the glaze over the top and spread evenly. Garnish with lime zest for an extra pop of color and flavor. Allow the glaze to set before cutting the bars into squares or rectangles. Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes | Total Time: 45 minutes Kcal: 280 kcal | Servings: 16 bars
