Chocolate Chip Coconut "Awesome" Bars
1 cup plus 2 T. all-purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 t. baking soda
1/4 t. salt
3/4 cup sugar
4 T. butter, softened
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1 t. vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Topping;
4 oz. cream cheese, softened
4 T. butter
1 egg
1/4 cup flour
1/2 t. vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 cup crisp rice cereal
1/2 cup coconut
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Heat the oven to 350 and spray and 8 x 8-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Notice the pan size. I think that I doubled the entire recipe and put it in a 13 x 9-inch pan.
Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, sugar, butter, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla. Mix until it just forms a cohesive mass and then add the chocolate chips and stir. Press this evenly into the prepared pan. Combine the cream cheese, butter, egg, flour, and vanilla. Mix until smooth and creamy, then stir in the cereal, coconut and chocolate chips until well mixed.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the base and bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown all over and just set at the edges while the center is still just a little wobbly. Cool and chill for at least two hours.
