Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps to incorporate air and create a tender texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then add the vanilla extract and mix well.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to ensure even distribution and aeration.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until the batter is smooth and well combined, avoiding over-mixing which can toughen the bars.
  6. Bake the Bars: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. This step ensures clean cuts and better texture.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easy creaming with sugar.
  • Do not overmix once the flour is added to maintain a tender crumb.
  • Cooling completely before cutting prevents the bars from crumbling.
  • For a variation, consider adding shredded coconut or pink food coloring to enhance the ‘pink coconut’ theme.
  • Store bars in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
