Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your baking pan by lining it with parchment paper or greasing it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla and coconut extracts.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring gently, and then fold in the shredded coconut.
  6. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
  7. While baking, prepare the pink glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and milk, adding food coloring to achieve desired shade.
  8. Once the bars are slightly cooled, drizzle the pink glaze over the top and sprinkle with additional coconut.
