- In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, 1 cup brown sugar, instant coffee powder, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt until light and fluffy.
- Stir in flour 1/2 cup at a time, blending well after each addition. Spread evenly in prepared pan.
- Bake 20 minutes. Cool in pan on rack 15 minutes.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs and vanilla with remaining 1 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in coconut and macadamias.
- Spread evenly over cooled baked layer. Bake 40 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.

p.c46@yahoo.comI'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these squares. The macadamia nuts and chocolate chips add a nice touch.

b_m@yahoo.comThe squares were a bit crumbly when I cut them. I would chill them for longer next time before cutting.

f_brandy20@gmail.comI found the squares to be a bit dry. I would add more butter or oil to the batter next time.
