Easy Coconut Chocolate Chip Bars Recipe

These bars feature a buttery base mixed with shredded coconut and chocolate chips, baked to perfection for a chewy texture. 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
1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, 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 ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in Coconut and Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the shredded coconut and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Bake: Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted in 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. Once cooled, cut into squares and serve.
