Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., pecans or walnuts)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.

      Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

        Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the mixture.

          Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.

            Fold in Chocolate Chips and Nuts: Gently fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and chopped nuts (if using) with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the dough.

              Spread into Pan: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

                Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set. A toothpick inserted should come out with a few moist crumbs.

                  Cool: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Cut and Serve: Once cooled, cut into squares or bars. Enjoy your delicious Chocolate Chip Coconut Bars with a cup of coffee or tea!
