BOY SCOUT BARS

These bars are reminiscent of a chocolate chip cookie, but better. Browned butter and brown sugar add a subtle butterscotch flavor, and coconut keeps the insides extra-gooey.

Time 1h55m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, plus additional for buttering the baking dish
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note), plus additional for dusting the baking dish
1 1/2 cups firmly packed light brown sugar 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup packed sweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter and flour a 13-by-9-inch glass baking dish.
  • Place the sugar in a large bowl. Cook the butter in a small skillet over medium-high heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until the foam cooks off, the bubbles become smaller and the butter begins to brown, about 7 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat when the butter is golden and the solids are a nutty brown. (The butter will continue to darken off the heat.) Let cool 5 minutes. Beat the browned butter into the sugar until the sugar is fully moistened and looks like wet crumbs.
  • Meanwhile, in another medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt.
  • Beat the eggs and vanilla into the brown sugar mixture. Add the flour mixture to the brown sugar mixture a bit at a time, and mix until a smooth, thick batter forms. Fold in the chocolate chips and coconut. Press the batter into to the prepared dish and spread to evenly fill it.
  • Bake until the bars are light brown around the edges, the center is set and crackly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with slightly moist crumbs adhering, about 25 minutes. Let cool for at least 1 hour. Cut into squares and serve.

BOY SCOUT FOIL DINNER

My oldest son is a Boy Scout and made this on a camping trip. It's winter here right now but I decided I'd make something close to bake in the oven.
