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.
