List of Ingredients




Cookie base:
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups flour
1 cup chopped toasted pecans

Coconut-Kahlua topping:
2 eggs
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup Kahlua
1/3 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup flaked coconut



Recipe



Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan.
To prepare cookie base: In a large bowl beat butter, brown
sugar and salt until light and fluffy. Add flour 1/2 cup at
a time, blending well after each addition. Stir in pecans.
Spread evenly over bottom of prepared pan. Bake 12 minutes;
remove to a rack.

To prepare topping: In a small bowl beat eggs, coffee
powder and salt until light. Beating constantly at
medium-high speed, add sugars 1/4 cup at a time, beating
well after each addition. Increase speed to high; continue
beating until mixture is thick and pale and ribbons form in
bowl when beaters are lifted, 5-10 minutes. With mixer
running at medium speed, gradually add 1/2 cup Kahlua, then
flour and baking powder; beat only until combined. Fold in
coconut. Pour evenly over partially baked crust. Bake 25
minutes or until top is set and evenly browned. Dust with
powdered sugar when cool.
