Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup sugar

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup softened butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture becomes light in color and fluffy in texture.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, then mix in the vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and salt.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined to form a smooth batter without overmixing.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place it in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting into squares and serving.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for better creaming with the sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to avoid a tough texture.
  • You can add shredded coconut on top or into the batter for enhanced coconut flavor.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • For a festive look, consider drizzling melted pink icing or sprinkling with desiccated coconut.
