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 Oven: Preheat the 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 until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the batter.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure even mixing. Then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt for an even distribution of leavening agents.
  5. Mix Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, carefully mixing until the batter is smooth and uniform without overmixing.
  6. Pour and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the baked bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing into squares for serving, ensuring the bars hold their shape well.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter is fully softened for easier creaming with the sugar.
  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the bars tender.
  • Use a toothpick test to check doneness, as overbaking can dry out the bars.
  • Allow bars to cool completely before slicing to maintain clean edges.
  • Optional: Add shredded coconut or pink food coloring to enhance the coconut snow theme.
