Lemon Coconut Bars

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon peel, divided
3/4 cup butter, room temperature
2 1/2 cups flaked coconut
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

In a mixing bowl, combine flour, confectioners' sugar, and 1 teaspoon of the lemon peel. Cut in butter with a pastry blender, until mixture resembles coarse meal. Press mixture into an uncreased 13x9x2-inch pan to make a crust. Bake at 350° for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle coconut over the baked layer; set aside. Combined condensed milk and remaining lemon rind. Drizzle evenly over the coconut. Sprinkle walnuts or pecans over the top, pressing down lightly. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Cool on a rack and cut into squares to serve. Makes about 3 dozen.
