ISLAND COOKIE BARS
This was a HUGE crowd-pleaser. Jam-packed with peanut-y flavor, they were a unanimous hit with everyone on the Crew. We had success making these with regular pastry flour in place of the whole wheat pastry which can be a little harder to find.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugars, peanut butter, pineapple, buttery spread and vanilla. Beat in the egg. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until completely combined. Fold in 1 C of the white chocolate chips, saving remaining 1/4 C.
- 3. With dampened hands, press the dough into a greased 9 x 13" baking pan. Sprinkle with remaining white chocolate chips and press them down lightly.
- 4. Bake bars in a 350 degree oven for 22-25 minutes, until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- 5. Put baking rack on the middle level. Turn oven to broil. Sprinkle coconut on top of the bars. Broil for 30-60 seconds, until coconut begins to brown. Be careful not to burn coconut!
- 6. Allow pan to cool completely on a wire rack. Cut into 32 bars.

[email protected]I found the recipe to be a bit confusing. The instructions weren't very clear.

[email protected]The bars were a little dry, but overall they were still pretty good. I think I'll add some extra pineapple juice next time.
Gideon Benson
[email protected]These bars are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

[email protected]I've been looking for a good Island Cookie Bar recipe and this one fits the bill. The bars have a perfect balance of flavors and textures. The only change I made was to use chopped walnuts instead of pecans. Highly recommend!
