Ollie Bean's Coconut Cookie Treats

Ingredients 0/11

Step 1

Warm your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing an 8x12-inch baking pan. In a bowl, cream together the butter, ½ cup of brown sugar, and 1 cup of flour until everything is nicely combined. Press this mixture evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until it feels firm but hasn’t started to brown. Once it’s done, take it out and lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

In a clean bowl, beat together 1 cup of brown sugar, the eggs, 2 tablespoons of flour, vanilla extract, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until the mixture lightens up—this usually takes around 2 minutes. Stir in the walnuts just until they’re mixed in, but don’t overdo it. Spread this filling over your baked crust and sprinkle the coconut on top. Bake everything for another 25 minutes or so, until the filling is set. Let it cool just a bit, then cut into squares while still warm. Enjoy!
