Time 1h10m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups packed light-brown sugar
1 tablespoon dark corn syrup
2 cups pecans, coarsely chopped
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Using an electric mixer, beat butter, confectioners' sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt until light. Beat in 2 cups flour until it forms a mass. Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch pan. Place a sheet of plastic wrap on the dough and use it to press the dough into the pan (this will make it easier and will prevent the dough from sticking to your fingers). Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until edges are golden.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together remaining 2 tablespoons flour, remaining teaspoon salt, and baking powder. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs, brown sugar, and corn syrup until light. Fold flour mixture into egg mixture, then pecans and coconut.
  • Pour over crust and bake 20 to 25 minutes until set. Run a metal spatula around the edges while still warm, then transfer to a wire rack and cool in pan before cutting into 24 bars.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out terrible. I don't recommend this recipe.

These cookies were a disappointment. They were dry and crumbly, and they didn't have much flavor.

These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and salty. I love the combination of the pecans and the chocolate chips.

I made these cookies for my kids' school bake sale and they were a huge hit. They were gone in no time!

These cookies were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I would add an extra egg yolk to the batter next time.

I made these cookies gluten-free by using a gluten-free flour blend. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans for walnuts. The cookies still turned out great and everyone loved them.

I tried this recipe and the cookies came out too dry. I think I might have overbaked them. I'll try again and see if I can get them right.

These cookies were a little too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would cut the sugar down by half next time.
