Delicious Chocolate Chip Coconut Bars

This dessert recipe features a buttery base mixed with shredded coconut and chocolate chips, baked until golden brown. The bars are cut into squares and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature. The recipe takes about 30 minutes from start to finish and yields 12 bars.

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
Add Coconut and Chocolate: Fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool and Cut: Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into squares and serve.
