Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Coconut Blondies
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by lining it with foil or parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Whisk in 1 cup of light brown sugar for 2-3 minutes until smooth and glossy.
  3. Incorporate 2 large eggs and 1 egg yolk, along with 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract, whisking until cohesive.
  4. Sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of fine sea salt in a separate bowl, then fold into the wet mixture.
  5. Fold in 3/4 cup of sweetened shredded coconut and 1 cup of chopped semisweet chocolate until evenly distributed.
  6. Spread the batter in the prepared pan, then top with 1/4 cup of additional shredded coconut and any remaining chocolate if desired.
  7. Bake for approximately 40 minutes, watching for the edges to set while the center remains slightly gooey.
  8. After baking, cool for 15-20 minutes, then slice into bars for serving.
