Gigi’s Pecan Dreams

First Layer:
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
1 egg
1 1/4 cups flour

Second Layer:
2 eggs
3/4 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans (or walnuts, or macadamias, your choice)
1/2 cup flaked coconut

Glaze:
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest
1 cup confectioner's sugar
2 tablespoons orange juice

For first layer: Cream butter in small mixing bowl. Gradually add sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Blend in flour. Pat evenly in a 13-by-9-by-2-inch ungreased baking pan. Bake in preheated 325-degree F. oven
15 minutes or until pale golden. Let cool on rack a few minutes.
For second layer: Beat eggs until light and lemon-colored in mixing bowl. Gradually add sugar and beat until well blended. Mix flour, baking powder and salt; add to egg mixture. Fold in nuts and coconut. Spread carefully over first layer. Bake in preheated 325-degree F. oven 20 to 23 minutes.
For glaze: Cream butter and orange zest. Add confectioner's sugar and enough orange juice to thin to desired consistency. Drizzle over second layer while still warm. Cool on wire rack. Cut into 64 1-inch squares.
