Mom knew I loved coconut, and here is another of her recipes with coconut! She passed away when I was 7, so Aunt Margie also made them for me with Mom's recipe.

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 c flour
1/2 c butter
2 eggs
1/2 c brown sugar
1 c brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c coconut

Steps:

  • 1. Combine 1 c flour, 1/2 c butter, and 1/2 c brown sugar to form crumbs and pat into buttered 9x13. Bake at 350 degrees until brown. Mix together remaining ingredients and pour over crust. Bake 20-25 minutes. When cool, cut into bars.

Tips:

  • Use fresh shredded coconut for the best flavor and texture.
  • If you don't have sweetened condensed milk, you can make your own by simmering 1 cup of granulated sugar with 1/4 cup of water and 1/4 teaspoon of salt until the sugar dissolves and the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  • To make the bars easier to cut, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  • If you want a thicker bar, use a 9x13 inch baking pan instead of a 9x9 inch pan.
  • You can also add other ingredients to the bars, such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit.

Coconut Dream Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple combination of ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are a fan of coconut or just looking for a new dessert to try, these bars are sure to please.
