Dream Bars image

Found the original recipe in King Arthur Flour's Baking Companion. I reduced the sugar content and I prefer them that way. You may also melt some chocolate chips and spread over the bars. You won't regret it!

Time 45m

Yield 24 bars

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 stick/4 oz.)
1/4 cup dark brown sugar (2 oz.)
1 cup all-purpose flour (4.5 oz.)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup dark brown sugar (8 oz.)
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs, well beaten
1 cup shredded coconut, sweetened/unsweetened (3.5 oz.)
1 cup chopped nuts (I use almonds, 4 oz.)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300F.
  • Cookie Layer: In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until smooth.
  • Stir in flour and salt.
  • Mixture will be crumbly.
  • Pat the mixture into a lightly greased 9x13 pan.
  • Bake for 10 mins, while you prepare the topping.
  • Increase the oven temperature to 325F.
  • Topping: Combine sugar, flour and baking powder in a medium mixing bowl (I've used the same bowl without ill result).
  • Stir in the eggs, mixing until smooth.
  • Add coconut and nuts, mix until well-combined.
  • Spread the topping onto the cookie layer, as evenly as possible (wet your fingers and spread).
  • Bake the bars for 30 mins, until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let them cool (in the pan).
  • Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar, if desired.
  • Or spread melted chocolate chips over the bars.
  • Cut them into 2 1/4 inch bars when completely cooled.

These dream bars are a great make-ahead dessert. I made them a few days ahead of time and they were still just as good.

I've made these bars several times now and they always turn out perfect. They're so easy to make and they always disappear quickly.

These dream bars are the perfect combination of sweet and salty. The shortbread crust is buttery and flaky, and the filling is rich and creamy. I love the addition of chocolate chips and nuts.
