Ingredients

Base Ingredients:
2 sticks unsalted butter (melted)
1 3/4 cups light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
8 ounces semisweet chocolate (chopped into chunks)

Instructions

Prepare the Pan:
Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 by 8-inch metal baking pan with foil or parchment, leaving an overhang. Spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix the Batter:
Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the butter and sugar with a rubber spatula. Add the eggs, egg yolk, and vanilla and stir until combined. Stir in the salt and flour. The mixture will be a thick dough-like batter. Stir in 3/4 of the coconut and chocolate chunks.
Bake the Blondies:
Step 3

Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining coconut and chocolate chunks, pressing into the batter slightly. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until set but still slightly gooey.
Cool and Cut:
Step 4

Allow to cool before cutting into bars using a big sharp knife or a big plastic knife. For cleaner cuts, wipe the blade under hot running water between cuts.
Storage Tips:
Step 5

Cover and store blondies at room temperature for up to 3 days. If desired, reheat slightly in the microwave before serving.
