Ingredients
Cookie Bar Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup toffee bits
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter and packed brown sugar until the mixture is smooth. Then, add the large egg and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly until fully combined.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: Stir in the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture just until the batter becomes smooth without overmixing to ensure a tender texture.
- Add Mix-ins: Gently fold the sweetened shredded coconut, toffee bits, and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Prepare to Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for uniform thickness.
- Bake the Bars: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 22 to 26 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
- Cool and Slice: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out and slicing into 16 bars. This cooling step helps the bars set perfectly.
Notes
- For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle additional toffee bits and chocolate chips on top of the batter before baking.
- Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and chewiness.
