Cream together the eggs, brown and white sugars, and butter. Add in remaining ingredients, expect for the chocolate chips and coconut. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips.

Spread half the mixture in the bottom of a greased 9X13 pan. It might not seem like it is going to cover, but it really will I promise. Spread/sprinkles the remaining chocolate chips over the layer. Sprinkle coconut over the chocolate chip later.

Spread remaining batter/dough over the top. Move slowly, use a silicone spatula to spread it over, carefully, or it will all lift up. But if I can do it, you can too!

Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. It will turn dark golden brown, similar to chocolate chip cookies.

Let cool before cutting and serving.
