Recipe Summary Choco-Coconut Bar Cookies

This recipe for coconut bar cookies came to me from my maternal Gramie Watson and quickly became a most-requested item at the kids' schools as well as at church and other venues where it was sampled.

Ingredients | Sample Canceled Check Image

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ cup butter

½ cup packed brown sugar

¼ teaspoon salt

1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips

2 eggs

1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl using a pastry blender until crumbly. Pat crust mixture into a 9x13-inch baking pan.

Bake in the preheated oven until set, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle chocolate chips over crust and return to the hot oven until chips are softened, about 1 minute. Remove from oven and gently spread softened chocolate over the crust. Leave oven on.

Beat eggs in a bowl until light and frothy; add shredded coconut, 2 tablespoons flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Spread egg mixture over the chocolate-covered crust.

Bake in the hot oven until light golden and center is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Allow to cool completely, at least 1 hour. Cut into 1x3-inch bars.

Substitute milk chocolate chips for semisweet ones, if desired.

Do not overbake in Step 3, or the chocolate chips will harden and become unspreadable.
