Ingredients:

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon sea salt

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups light brown sugar

2 eggs, at room temperature

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

2 tablespoons bourbon

½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

½ cup sweetened flaked coconut, toasted

¼ cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9x13-inch pan and line with parchment paper, allowing the ends of the paper to hang over the sides.

2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and sea salt.

3. In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until all of the butter is incorporated and there are no lumps of brown sugar. Add the eggs, vanilla extract and bourbon and stir with a wooden spoon until thoroughly combined. Add the flour mixture and stir until almost completely incorporated, then add the chocolate chips, coconut and pecans, stirring to combine.

4. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer. Bake until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack and cool completely before cutting into squares and serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. The bourbon may be omitted, if desired.

Bon Appetit!
