Divide mixture and press evenly into the prepared pans.
Bake for 15-20 minutes. Do not overbake it, as it will continue baking when you have added the lemon topping.
In large bowl, beat eggs thoroughly.
Add the remaining ingredients except coconut and blend until completely mixed. (You can stir the flour into the sugar before mixing to prevent any lumps.)
Pour the topping mixture evenly over the baked crust.
Sprinkle coconut over (if using) and bake for 20-25 minutes. The topping should be firm, but do not overbake.
Remove from oven and cool pans on cooling racks. Cut each pan into 20-25 squares.
