Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking pan or line with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, cream 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in 1 egg.
Step 3
Stir in 1 cup flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder until just combined. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, mix 2 cups shredded coconut, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup milk until well combined.
Step 5
Spread the coconut mixture over the dough base, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Step 6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the edges are golden and the coconut topping is lightly browned. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
