You can also do a mix of butterscotch chips and chocolate chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sweetened shredded coconut<\/strong> &ndash; Chocolate chip cookie bars with coconut have a tropical flavor and chewy texture.

Unsweetened coconut tends to be drier, but if you prefer less sweetness, you can use unsweetened coconut!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1740266305358\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What makes a bar cookie chewy vs crunchy?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">For the perfectly chewy texture, start with the right combination of ingredients and avoid overbaking. We use brown sugar here instead of white sugar since it increases chewiness. The moisture from the sweetened condensed milk, eggs and butter helps maintain chewiness, and baking at lower temperatures for slightly longer times also preserves that desirable chewy texture. Finally, when storing, be sure to wrap the bars tightly!<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1740266391461\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Can chocolate chip cookie bars be frozen? <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">Yes! To freeze, wrap the coconut chocolate chip cookie bars tightly in plastic wrap and place in a freezer-safe container. They&rsquo;ll keep well for up to 2 months. Pre-cutting before freezing lets you thaw only what you need. Thaw at room temperature for 1-2 hours before serving.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-c50fe08d\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-cb34363c\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We Love Your Ratings and Comments!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoy this recipe, we&rsquo;d be&nbsp;<em>thrilled<\/em>&nbsp;if you clicked on the stars &#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039;&#11088;&#65039; below and left a rating and short comment!<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Printable Recipe Card<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"recipe\"><\/div><div id=\"wprm-recipe-container-10088\" class=\"wprm-recipe-container\" data-recipe-id=\"10088\" data-servings=\"24\"><div class=\"wprm-recipe wprm-recipe-template-chic-custom-template\"><div class=\"wprm-container-float-right\">\n    <div class=\"wprm-recipe-image wprm-block-image-rounded\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border-width: 0px;border-style: solid;border-color: #666666;border-radius: 3px;\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured-300x300.jpg\" class=\"attachment-250x250 size-250x250\" alt=\"Four coconut chocolate chip cookie bars on a wood cutting board.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/coconut-chocolate-bars-featured.jpg\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wprm-recipe-name wprm-block-text-bold\">Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span class=\"wprm-recipe-details wprm-recipe-author wprm-block-text-normal\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.happysimpleliving.com\/about\/\" target=\"_self\">Eliza Cross<\/a><\/span>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-recipe-summary wprm-block-text-bold\"><span style=\"display: block;\">These <strong>Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars<\/strong> are a fresh twist on classic magic cookie bars.
