Coffee Bars

A tasty treat for coffee break or dessert.

Ingredients:
1 cup golden raisins
2/3 cup strong brewed Peace Coffee
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2/3 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt

Glaze:
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
brewed coffee

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Combine raisins, coffee and cinnamon in a small bowl and let stand for a few minutes (while you're preparing the rest of recipe).

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. In a separate bowl, sift flour, baking powder, soda and salt and combine with creamed mixture. Add in raisin mixture.

Spread batter in greased 9x13 pan and bake for 20-25 minutes.

While still warm, spread with coffee glaze, which is made by adding enough coffee to 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar to achieve a thin spreading consistency.

Cut into bars when cool.
