List of Ingredients




½ c. (1 stick) butter, softened

½ c. granulated sugar

1¼ c. flour, divided

½ tsp. baking powder

2 eggs

1 c. firmly packed brown sugar

1½ tsp. vanilla

1 c. chopped pecans

1½ c. flaked coconut

1 square (1 oz.) semisweet baking chocolate

½ tsp. safflower or canola oil


Recipe



Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a mixer bowl, combine butter and sugar; beat until fluffy. Gradually stir in 1 cup of the flour to make a crumbly dough. Press firmly over bottom of greased 9-by-13-inch baking pan. Bake 10 minutes; remove from oven. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees.

In a small bowl, combine remaining ¼ cup flour and baking powder; stir to mix well. In mixer bowl, combine eggs and brown sugar; beat until well mixed. Blend in vanilla. Gradually beat in flour mixture until well combined. Stir in pecans and coconut. Spread mixture over pastry in pan.

Bake until well browned and firm in center (20 to 25 minutes). Remove to rack to cool. In a small, heavy pan over low heat, melt chocolate with oil, stirring. Drizzle chocolate over cookies. Cut into bars after chocolate sets.
