COFFEE BARS 
1 cup golden raisins
2/3 cup strong coffee (leftover from the pot)
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 icing sugar
coffee

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.

Combine raisin, coffee and cinnamon and let stand. Cream shortening and sugar, adding eggs one at a time, and beating well.

Mix and sift flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Add raisin mixture.

Spread batter in greased 9x13 pan.

Bake at 350F for 20-25 minute.

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

Cut when cool.
