Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut
- 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, use a hand mixer or stand mixer to cream the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface with the spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
Let the bars cool completely in the baking dish on a wire rack. Once cool, remove from the dish and cut into 12 equal-sized bars.
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
