Coconut Toffee Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
🛒 Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tsp Baking soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt 🧂
- 1 cup (2 sticks) Unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup Packed brown sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 2 Large eggs 🥚
- 1 1/2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips 🍫
- 1 cup Shredded sweetened coconut (plus extra for topping!) 🥥
- 1 cup Toffee bits (like Heath or Skor) 🍬
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. 📝
- Dry Mix: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Cream Butter: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. 🥣
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Combine: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix until just combined.
- The Goodies: Fold in the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and toffee bits. The dough will be thick and smell amazing! 😍
- Bake: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle a little extra coconut and a few chocolate chips on top for that “bakery look.” 👩🍳
- Golden Brown: Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
- Cool: Let them cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars. This helps the toffee and chocolate set for that perfect chew! ⌛
🔥 Pro Tips:
- Toasted Coconut: For an even deeper flavor, toast your coconut in a skillet for 2 minutes before adding it to the batter! 🥥🔥
- Salted Toffee: Sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt on top right after baking to balance the sweetness. 🧂
