Perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth, these bars are easy to prepare and make a great treat for gatherings or everyday indulgence.


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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add Mix-ins: Gently fold the sweetened shredded coconut, toffee bits, and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly throughout.
  5. Prepare to Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for uniform thickness.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
