Directions
Crust: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour and 3/4 c sugar.

until crust is light brown around edges.

vanilla. Beat until combined. Pour over the hot crust. Sprinkle with
the remaining nuts, cranberries, and coconut.
Bake in the 350 F oven for 30 minutes more or until golden. Cool
slightly in the pan on a wire rack. Cut into 24 bars; cut bars in
