COCONUT CHEWIES

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the bars dense instead of chewy.

Step 5: Fold in Coconut

Gently fold in the shredded coconut (and any optional nuts or chocolate chips) until evenly distributed throughout the batter. The coconut is the star here, giving the chews their signature texture and flavor.

Step 6: Spread Batter in Pan

Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan. Use a spatula to spread it evenly to the edges. This will ensure even baking and uniform thickness for your Coconut Chewies.

Step 7: Bake to Perfection

Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center is set but still soft. The bars will continue to firm up slightly as they cool.

Step 8: Cool and Cut

Allow the Coconut Chewies to cool completely in the pan for at least 15–20 minutes. Then lift them out using the parchment paper and cut into squares or rectangles. For cleaner cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it between cuts.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy

Serve your Coconut Chewies as a snack, dessert, or pack them in airtight containers for later. They are perfect with a cup of coffee, tea, or even a glass of cold milk.

Pro Tip: For an extra twist, drizzle melted chocolate over the top or sprinkle a pinch of sea salt before serving.
