Description

Coconut Chewies are rich, buttery dessert bars with a chewy texture and a delightful coconut flavor. These bars are easy to make and perfect for any occasion, offering a satisfying blend of sweetness and chewiness that coconut lovers will adore.


Ingredients

Scale
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 cups brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Swirl the pan until the butter darkens to an amber color, then remove from heat.
  • Stir in the brown sugar until fully combined.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Gradually add the flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring until just combined.
  • Fold in the shredded sweetened coconut.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, covering with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
  • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • Browning the butter adds a rich, nutty flavor to the bars. Watch closely to prevent burning.
  • To prevent over-browning, cover the bars with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  • Ensure the bars cool completely before slicing for the best texture.
