Delightful coconut chewies that evoke nostalgic memories and are easy to make with pantry staples.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.

- Fold in the shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow to cool before cutting into squares and serving.
Notes
For a nutty flavor, toast the shredded coconut before adding it to the batter. Experiment with chocolate chips or nuts for extra texture.
