Coconut Chewies

 

Ingredients You'll Need:

½ cup butter

2 cups brown sugar

2 eggs

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 ½ cups flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 ½ cups shredded sweetened coconut

Preparation Steps:

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and grease an 8x8 baking dish.

In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add the butter. As it begins to boil, continuously swirl the pan to prevent burning. Continue until the butter darkens to an amber color, then remove from the heat.

Stir brown sugar into the warm butter until fully integrated. Then mix in the eggs and vanilla.

Add flour, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients and stir until combined.

Fold in the shredded coconut into the batter, then transfer it to your prepared baking dish.

Bake for 40-45 minutes. Cover with foil for the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.

Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing.

And there you have it! A batch of heavenly Coconut Chewies that’s perfect for coconut enthusiasts. The combination of a crispy top and a chewy center, packed with coconut flavor, makes this treat hard to resist. Enjoy baking and indulging in your new favorite coconut delight!
