These tasty cookie bars are chock full of dark, semi-sweet, and white chocolate along with pecans and shredded coconut. An irresistible and dairy-free indulgence.
Ingredients
- 2 cups + 6 tbsp / 285 grams all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 stick / 113 grams plant based butter with salt - room temperature
- 6 tbsp / 90 grams plant based yogurt - room temperature
- ¾ cup / 150 grams cane sugar
- ½ cup / 100 grams coconut sugar
- ¼ tsp almond extract
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate chunks + extra for the top
- ⅓ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips + extra for the top
- ⅓ cup white chocolate chips + extra for the top
- ⅔ cup sweetened shredded coconut + extra for the top
- ⅓ cup pecans - roughly chopped + extra for the top
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 350F and line an 8x8 square pan with parchment paper.
- To a small bowl, add the flour and baking powder; whisk to combine and set aside.
- To a medium bowl add the butter and both sugars. With a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar for 2 minutes on medium-high speed. Add the milk, yogurt, vanilla extract and almond extract. Continue blending on medium-high speed for another minute.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. With the hand mixer, blend on medium speed until almost all of the flour is absorbed. Add the dark chocolate chunks, semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, sweetened shredded coconut, and pecans; fold until fully incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan; making sure to spread it out evenly. Sprinkle a few chocolate chunks, semi-sweet chips, white chocolate chips, coconut and pecans across the top. Bake the cookie bars for 25 to 30 minutes. I baked mine for 28 minutes (the center was slightly soft and the edges were just starting to brown).
- Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 15 to 20 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Wait until the bars have cooled to room temperature before cutting and serving.Store the cookie bars in an airtight container at room temperature.
