INGREDIENTS

  • Pan & Prep

    • Cooking spray
  • Crust

    • 1 ½ cups flour
    • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
    • ½ teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 🧈 ½ cup butter, softened
    • ¼ cup white sugar
    • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
    • 🥚 1 large egg yolk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Filling & Toppings

    • 1 (13.4 ounce) can dulce de leche
    • 🥛 3 tablespoons milk
    • 1 (14 ounce) package sweetened flaked coconut
    • 1 (12 ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips, divided

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with foil, extending foil over edges. Coat foil with cooking spray.

2

For crust, stir together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.

3

Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed for 30 seconds. Add both sugars and beat until light and fluffy at medium-high speed. Beat in egg yolk and vanilla extract. Beat in flour mixture (mixture will be crumbly). Press dough onto the bottom of the prepared pan.

4

Bake crust in the preheated oven until edges are light brown, 10 to 12 minutes.

5

Meanwhile, combine dulce de leche and milk in a medium bowl. Stir in flaked coconut.

6

Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips over the hot crust; let stand for 5 minutes until chocolate has melted. Spread melted chocolate over crust in an even layer. Carefully spread coconut mixture over chocolate layer.

7

Return to the oven and bake 10 minutes more. Cool in the pan on a wire rack.

8

Microwave remaining chocolate chips in a small bowl, stirring once halfway through, until melted and smooth, 30 to 45 seconds. Drizzle melted chocolate over coconut mixture. Chill, covered, until set, about 1 hour.

9

Using foil, lift out uncut cookies. Cut into bars.
