1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter that has been melted and then cooled to room temp
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons good quality vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, toasted at 350 until light golden brown (stir often)
2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 13×9 inch baking pan with foil and then grease or spray the foil.
Toast your pecans at 350 for ten minutes or until they are a nice toasty brown. transfer to a plate to cool quicker.
In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to blend.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter and the brown sugar. Whisk well to combine. Add in the eggs, vanilla extract and coconut extract
Fold in the toasted coconut, chocolate chips and pecans. I actually sprinkled the pecans on top because I like the way it looks that way, but either way works.
Bake at 350 degrees for 22 to 25 minutes. The top should be somewhat shiny and crinkled looking. Cool on a rack in the pan until they are room temp. Lift the brownies out to a cutting board using the foil as handles and cut into small squares. Or big ones.
