Tick the ingredients as you go

• 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (16 tablespoons; 226 g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 1 3/4 cups (350 g) packed light or dark brown sugar
• 1 large egg plus 1 large egg yolk
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup (80 g) sweetened shredded coconut
• 1 cup (180 g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan, or line it with parchment paper that overhangs the sides.

2. 2

   Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth, then whisk in the egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Pour this into the dry ingredients and whisk gently just until combined. Fold in the coconut and chocolate chips.

   
5. 4

   Spread the batter evenly in the pan and bake for about 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with just a few moist crumbs. Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before slicing.
