How to Make Pear Bar Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Make the crust:** In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour and ½ cup granulated sugar.
- Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of a greased 9x9 inch baking pan.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- **Make the pear topping:** While the crust is baking, peel and dice 2 medium ripe pears.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ½ cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground ginger.
- Gently fold in 1 cup shredded coconut and the diced pears.
- Spread the pear mixture evenly over the warm crust.
- Bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the topping is set and golden brown.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
