                        Crust
     1/2           cup  butter
     1/4           cup  sugar
  1                     egg
     1/2      teaspoon  vanilla extract
  1 1/4           cups  flour, all-purpose
     1/8      teaspoon  salt
                        Topping
  2                     eggs -- beaten
  1 1/2           cups  brown sugar
     1/2           cup  coconut -- flaked
  1                cup  chocolate chips
  2        tablespoons  flour, all-purpose
     1/2      teaspoon  baking powder
     1/2      teaspoon  salt
  1           teaspoon  vanilla extract
                        Icing
  1 1/2           cups  confectioner's sugar
  2        tablespoons  lemon juice

Preheat oven to 350oF.  Cream sugar and butter for crust.  Beat in egg and
vanilla.  Stir in dry ingredients and pat into greased 9 X 12 or 9 X 13
pan.  Bake 10-12 minutes.  While crust is baking mix the topping
ingredients together.  Pour over hot crust and return to oven.  Bake for
25 minutes until edges are brown and topping is set.  Cool completely. 
When cool, mix confectioner's sugar with enough lemon juice (you'll
probably need more) to get a good spreading consistency.  Spread on bars
and allow allow icing to set.  Cut into 36 pieces.

Variation I:
Substitute 1 cup pecans for chocolate chips.

Variation II:
Substitute 1/2 cup pecans or 1/2 cup raisins for coconut.

These are the cookies that St. Peter serves at the Golden Gates to
children to help ease their homesickness.
