How to Make Macaroon Cookie Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 13x9 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, and 1 large egg. Beat on high speed until crumbly.
  3. Press the mixture evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg until well combined.
  5. Stir in 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional).
  6. Pour the coconut mixture evenly over the chocolate crust.
  7. Spread the topping to ensure even coverage.
  8. Sprinkle 1/4 cup sweetened shredded coconut over the top.
  9. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the edges are set and the center is slightly soft. The center may still be a bit jiggly; it will firm up as it cools.
  10. Let the bars cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
