Island Cookie Bars image

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.

Categories     Chocolate

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 3/4 c whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
3/4 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
3/4 c natural peanut butter
1/4 c crushed pineapple, juices drained
2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp vanilla
1 large egg
1 1/4 c white chocolate
1/2 c sweetened flaked coconut

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.

I'm not a huge fan of fruit in my desserts, but these cookie bars were surprisingly good. The crust was perfectly crispy and the fruit filling was sweet and tart.
