Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups brown sugar, packed
- 3 large eggs
- 1.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 1.5 cups chopped pecans
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup of softened unsalted butter and 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Gradually add 2 cups of all-purpose flour to the butter mixture and mix until combined to form a crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and set aside.
In another mixing bowl, whisk together 1.5 cups of packed brown sugar, 3 large eggs, 1.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt until smooth.
Add 2 cups of shredded sweetened coconut, 1.5 cups of chopped pecans, and 0.5 teaspoon of baking powder to the sugar mixture. Stir until evenly combined.
Pour the coconut and pecan mixture over the baked crust, spreading it evenly.
Bake again in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
Once cooled, cut into 24 squares or bars and serve. Enjoy!
