Ingredients

The following ingredients have 16 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter, (soft/room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, (lightly packed)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup coconut, (sweetened and shredded)

Instruction

  • Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degree.
  • Next, line a 9x9 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, use a handheld mixer to fully incorporate the butter, sugar, and flour amounts under the 'base' heading above. Mix on medium speed for a full 2 minutes. The mixture will be crumbly.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and gently press the mixture into the pan. Be sure to get into the corners. Use the bottom of a drinking glass or mug to evenly press the mixture.
  • Bake the base for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
  • In the meantime, add the 'topping' ingredients to a mixing bowl and use your handheld mixer to just incorporate the ingredients. Don't over mix.
  • Pour the topping mixture over the base and spread out evenly.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.
  • Allow to cool completely before removing from the pan and cutting into squares.
