Triple Layer Cookie Bars

This "sweet treat" was submitted by Katie Jensen.

1 1/4 cups AP flour
2/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup baking cocoa
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold butter
2 eggs

Topping:
1 pkg. (7 ounces) flaked coconut
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Cut in butter until crumbly. Beat in eggs. Spread in a greased 9x13 baking pan.
2. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes. Sprinkle coconut over crust; drizzle with milk. Bake 20-25 minutes longer or until lightly browned.
3. (I do this step when there is about 5 minutes left of baking time) In a microwave, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter; stir until blended and smooth. Spread over brownies. Cool on wire rack. When the bars are completely cooled, cut them into bars.

Note: It's easier to cut them into bars if the pan has been in the fridge for about 30-45 minutes. You may also need to wipe your knife between cuttings.
