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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Add the vanilla extract and egg to the creamed mixture. Mix until fully combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
Step 6
Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut and semi-sweet chocolate chips using a spatula until evenly distributed.
Step 7
Spread the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the surface with the spatula.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
