Instructions
00:00 Introduction
Bottom layer
00:26 Preheat oven to 350F (177C) and prepare a 13x9 pan by lining with parchment paper (or lightly grease and flour). Set aside.
00:43 Combine butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until light, creamy, and well-combined (about 1 minute medium/high speed).
02:25 Add eggs, egg yolk, and extracts and stir well.
03:38 In a separate, medium-sized bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
04:08 Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring on medium-low speed until completely combined.
04:56 Spread batter evenly into prepared pan and bake in the center rack of 350F (175C) oven for 25 minutes. Allow cookie bars to cool completely in pan before covering with coconut cream frosting. -- Do not turn off the oven, you will use next if toasting your coconut.
Coconut Cream Frosting
06:10 (Optional) Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle ½ cup (60g) of coconut evenly over the cookie sheet. Bake in 350F (177C) oven for 4-5 minutes, remove, turn with spatula, and return to oven and repeat if needed in 3 minute intervals until coconut is lightly browned. Allow toasted coconut to cool while you prepare the frosting.
07:25 Combine butter and cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until smooth and creamy.
08:18 Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until combined.
09:05 Add coconut extract and salt and stir until well combined.
09:32 Spread the frosting in an even layer over the cooled bars.
10:08 Sprinkle untoasted coconut evenly over cookie bars then top with toasted coconut. Cut and serve.
Optional: For an extra decadent treat, drizzle with melted dark chocolate.

I’m an optimist so when my husband tells me he doesn’t like coconut, I think, “More for me!”
Exactly!!
Lol how can you not like coconut!! I’m all about coconut and pineapple for summer!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That’s what I ask my husband all the time… it’s so good!
I ❤️❤️❤️ coconut and even my kid who thinks he doesn’t like coconut, loves them
Hello Miss Sam, OMG! Today is June 28 2024 and I made these coconut buttery bars and they are so delicious and Buttery! My brother,mom and I LOVE them!!!! We like coconut but decided not to put it on the bars. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with all of us and please keep doing what you are doing. God Bless you and your family. Alicia ❤
Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much! :)
Love coconut
Me too
Me too! 😊😊
You had me at "coconut"! 🥥
🥥 💜
I LOVE coconut. Bring on all the coconut recipes you can.
How can someone not love coconut?? It is tropical bliss! I have been known to eat Baker's coconut straight out of the bag! I will be making a coconut cream pie or cake for my birthday in July. I will be the only one in my family to eat it but I will do so happily! Can't wait to try this recipe!❤🥥
The word 'Coconut' in the title is what made me immediately LIKE and SAVE this video into my FOOD folder! Only recipes I absolutely intend to make go there! These look delicious and I cannot wait to try them!
I hope you love them!! 😊😊
Reminds me of coconut lime bars from this bakery I use to go to.
Yummmm
Hi, Sam. Your hair looks especially beautiful in this video. I'm loving this recipe. I can happily say everyone in my house will enjoy eating these. No coconut haters here 😂
What do people have against coconut?? It is absolutely delicious and so versatile from the milk, water and cream to the actual coconut flesh which is absolutely divine if eaten fresh. Being from a tropical island I was born and raised between coconuts and they are definitely one of my favorite paired with mango and pineapple. Maybe US citizens know nothing about consuming it fresh since this is not a coconut soil land..so they are missing big time. My Puerto Rico has delicious ones. I'm lost by this seriously. How can people hate 🥥🥥🥥??? 😢😢😢
My husband will not touch it! He can’t stand the texture and says the taste just overpowers everything else. I say he’s wrong but 🤷♀️
OMG, thank you so much for such a delicious desert, they are fabulous, super quick and simple but sooo yummy! I'm glad I tried these bars, my family loved them...keep em coming, you're amazing and always such a lovely lady!
I'm so glad you enjoyed them so much! :)
I made these and they are outstanding Sam! They are like coconut cream pie bars. So light and creamy with the perfect amount of coconut flavor! They were a big hit!
I ❤ 🥥!
I'm so happy you enjoyed them!! ❤️
Made these this week and, while coconut things are usually just okay for me, these are sooo good. Another one of your recipes that will go in my "make again" bank!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it so much! :)
Love all things coconut.
You're going to love these! :)
I can’t wait to try this recipe! For those who don’t like coconut, that’s just more for those of us who do!
I’ll never complain about that!! 😊
I think I would do all of the coconut toasted and drizzle chocolate on top 🥰
Yummmm 😊😊
yum! it's delicious!
Thanks for the post ma'am, my maid made most of your heavenly delicious flavors recipes to name a few carrot cake, chocolate cake, red velvet cake, blondie, pecan bars, etc. The most viral among all your recipes was the big thick chocolate chip cookies bravo! 👏 and I'm addicted to it. I love keeping myself in shape I'm afraid I might lose my six-pack cuz I can't stop chewing on your heavenly delicious flavors or recipes. My uncle can't take anything to do with coconut cuz it makes him cough continuously. Medical student Malaysia God bless ma'am keep rocking with your inspiration recipes. 👍🙏😋
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed everything so much! 😊😊
@@SugarSpunRun you're welcome ma'am.🙏
Yummmm, thank you, going to try these…..hahaha your so funny, love the bloopers
Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed them! 😊
This is perfect to serve at a beach wedding!!!!
Ooooo good idea!
While some are running, the coconut title pulled me in! My all time fav pie is coconut cream pie. These look heavenly. 🤤
This is going on my list for this weeks desserts. Thanks for sharing! 🌹🇨🇦
You’re welcome! I hope you love them! 😊😊
I love anything coconut ! Delish ❤🌴 🥥
You will love these 😊
That just means more coconut for you Sam! ☺️. But seriously coconut is amazing, I can't wait to try this recipe.
I hope you love it! 😊
Love love coconut
You will love these!
I never understood someone not liking coconut. Growing up my Mom make German Chocolate cake with a coconut frosting all the time, delicious! And her guilty pleasure which she always shared with me was a Mounds or Almond Joy candy bar, dark chocolate covered coconut. I bake German Chocolate cake now too but cheat and buy coconut frosting in a can to cover it.
Real and fresh coconut with artificial flavors and ingredients will turn someone away from coconuts. And if it's baled right, it can be a family favorite. Some didn't experience the variety of coconut 🥥. Love coconut 🥥 cream iny smoothies though 💜
I completely agree but I don’t know how to straighten Zach out on this one. 🤣🤣🤣
Because of texture for me, that's also why I hate onion. The tiny flecks of crunchy grossness with their awful mouth feel is just so off-putting to me.
To each their own... My wife doesn't like scallops or lobster...
i love coconut!!
i like all of your recipes. i really appreciate that you dont speak the metric measurements but rather you just put them in the printable recipe. your little guy is so cute .
Thank you so much! :)
My husband & I (& one of our 3 kids lol) LOVE coconut! 😊 Thank you for this video! 😊
Love,love, love coconut! Recipe looks sooo... Yummy
I hope you love them! :)
❤ coconut 🎉
Any dessert with Coconut, sign me up!!
Me too!! 🙋♀️
Yep, I stopped scrolling to watch this because it said coconut! YUMMY!!
I hope you loved it! :)
I love coconut. Will definitely give this a try! My husband hates coconut. 😅
More for you! I hope you love it! 😊
These look heavenly! I love coconut!
Thank you!
TIP: to hold the parchment to the pan, use document? Paper clips (I learned from Martha Stewart) then remove them to get the bars out of the pan. Looks great! I had never made bars, yeah, you hear right! Great recipe to try.
I love coconut and am definitely going to make these. Side note my favorite pie is coconut cream pie.
I hope you love these! Definitely check out my coconut cream pie recipe too 😊

I love coconut 🥥 so much .Everything I see coconut 🥥 recipes my vibration goes up to 1000 percent. Thank you so much for your amazing channel.I can't wait to make these.
You are so welcome! I hope you love them ❤️
I LOVE coconut!
I'm making these now 😊 I appreciate the metric measurements! I'm seriously considering tossing out my measuring cups! 😅 Weighing ingredients is so much easier & quicker😊
It's a real game changer! :)
They look great and a good change from chocolate. For those who don’t like coconut you must read about the benefits of this fruit right from tender coconut to ripe or the mature one.
I agree with you It is so good for you and my boys hate it to, and I don't know how or why I eat it all the time and I always have it in my house as well. I drink the water out of the soft one everyday.
I’m not sure even the health benefits could convince Zach to eat it. 🤣🤣🤣 he can be pretty stubborn
I love coconut 🥥
Me too!
Well, Sam, I have just made these, and they are to die for!! I made them gluten free too, and used lactose free cream cheese and they are delicious. You are amazing 🎉❤️🫶😋
Yay! I'm so glad you loved them 🥰
Outstanding Sam thank you so so much may the Lord lift you up nd grow more much appreciated
You’re welcome! Enjoy! 😊
Guilty of not liking coconut but I enjoy your videos so much I’m watching anyway. 😂
🤣 That's dedication! Thank you so much!
😂 Sam you can never have too much coconut! 😁
I totally agree! 😍
Those look awesome! My neighbor loves coconut! This will be perfect for his birthday! Thank you!
That's so sweet of you! I hope he loves the bars ☺️
Those look delicious. I may have to make them and be adventurous and drizzle a little chocolate over the top. 😊 Thank you for sharing your recipes. ❤
I love the chocolate addition!! 😊
I love coconut, so thank you for this. If you have more coconut recipes to share please do
I actually have many coconut recipes. The easiest way for me to share them all with you is to give you this link to my website. :) sugarspunrun.com/#search/q=coconut
@@SugarSpunRun oooohh thank you 🥰
I LOVE COCONUT!!! I’m worried about the extract, but will trust you after all your testing 😋
this looks really good...and I'm wondering how the recipe could be adapted to make something like a pina colada bar?
O man it would take some tinkering but I think it’s something that could be done.
Yummy, coconut!! Can't wait to make this. Finally found the coconut extract. 🥥
I hope you love them!!
It looks delicious, I have to try this summer as the weather gets hot 😀
I hope you love them 🥰
I am eating these as I am watching this. very good especially if they are room temperature. Good recipe
Glad you like them!
Great recipe! Inappropriate top.
Hi i happened to stumble in your years ago waffle recipe and i made it today...its really yummy...thank you❤
You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
I LOVE coconut! And today is a holiday here (Canada - Victoria Day) so I think I know what I'm baking! 😊 (I'll also be making it Gluten-free, so I'll let you know how it turns out!)
Yay! I hope they turn out fabulously 🎉
Oh my gosh, I totally forgot to come back and let you know how they came out! But they came out amazing!! My daughters love coconut and the pan was gone in about 2 days! Lol
Delicious bars.
They are SO good!
Love coconut!, yummy!😊❤❤❤
Me too! Enjoy!
Sam, you have the “hot mama” look goin on in this video! 😂You go, girl! Love all your recipes!!
They look great and delicious. Can’t wait to try them.
I hope you LOVE them!
My mom used to make raspberry coconut bars every Christmas. Sadly she didn’t pass the recipe on before she passed. I’m still searching for a comparable version. Thank you for sharing this, and if you happen to have one that calls for a short bread crust, a layer of raspberry preserves and a coconut crumble top I would be forever grateful!
I don't have a recipe for one, but I wonder if you could use my strawberry crumb bars, but use raspberry instead and add coconut to the crumble topping? sugarspunrun.com/strawberry-crumb-bars/
@@SugarSpunRun thanks, I’ll check it out!
Sign me up for coconut! This recipes looks so delicious. I cannot wait to try it!
I hope you love it!
@@SugarSpunRun No doubt, I will love these bars.
I luv coconut 🥥 yummy Barbara 😊

spatulas do you use to mix and scrape the bowl with.

Thank you so much!
Love your videos
I'm so happy you do! Thanks for watching ☺️
❤this sounds delicious I love coconut
They are so good!
Looks yummy! Tfs!
Enjoy!
I love coconut. My son loves the flavor of coconut in cookies, but hates the texture of coconut.Where is your fancy new mixer?
This looks like a nice recipe ❤😊
I hope you love it!
I love coconut but almost passed it by because I saw the word tropical and I thought it had pineapple, which I do not like. These look delicious and I will definitely be making 😊
Nope, no pineapple here. I hope you love them! ☺️
❤ 😊have to try this recipe love coconut ❤😊
I hope you love it! 😀
Yum. Why noy? What' wrong with coconut? Don' be hatin'! It's delicious. Btw, your husbaband is lucky you make anything for him, My wife reminds me how lucky I am she bakes antthing for me and then I just agree. :)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I don’t think I could force him to eat it if I tried!
@@SugarSpunRun His loss.More for you and the rest of the family. Just my opinion.
People with blood type A typically can't stand coconut in any form. This is according to the book , Eat Right for Your Type which is about eating according to your blood type
Just a little interesting tidbit. Btw, my husband and his mother are both A's and HATE coconut! All the more for me to enjoy! 😅
I’m so tempted to mix the untoasted coconut into the frosting before spreading and then top with the toasted, has anyone tried this?, if so- was it good??
Sounds delicious! Let me know how it goes. :)
How can I adjust ingredients to make in an 8x8 inch pan? Would halving everything work?
I love coconut, and these look delicious🙃
Thank you so much! ❤️
I have a can of coconut in syrup. Could I use that?
I haven’t tried it. It could work, but I would worry it may make the bars a bit soggy so wait until just before serving to add it. 😊
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks
💚❤💙💜
What’s the best coconut extract to use?
I personally like McCormick. 😊
I'd like to know which coconut extract you are using.
McCormick
Ho doesn't like coconut cake? ❤
Can the sugar be reduced? Sounds way too sweet.
I always tell people to reduce the sugar at their own risk. I haven’t tested with less and it could make the bars less tender and more dry and less flavorful. The frosting won’t be as sturdy. So it could be done, but I can’t guarantee results.
Too many butts Sam. Keep it PG. Luke might be lukeing around!!!!
🤣
