Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups (354 ml) all-purpose flour
- ½ cup (120 ml) graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup (120 ml) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (120 ml) brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (120 ml) butterscotch chips
- ½ cup (120 ml) semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup (120 ml) sweetened shredded coconut
Binding and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup (60 ml) granulated sugar
- ¼ cup (60 ml) sweetened condensed milk
Dry and Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (120 ml) chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
- Craft the foundation for these decadent cookies by combining graham cracker crumbs, flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium mixing vessel. Whisk thoroughly to ensure even distribution of dry ingredients.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and airy, creating a smooth base for the cookie dough.
- Introduce the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture, blending until the ingredients are seamlessly incorporated and the texture becomes silky.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to create a cohesive dough without overmixing.
- Carefully integrate butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts into the cookie dough, distributing the mix-ins evenly throughout.
- Preheat the oven to 350F (175C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a non-stick surface for the cookies.
- Form the dough into tablespoon-sized rounds, positioning them approximately two inches apart on the prepared baking sheet to allow for spreading.
- Delicately drizzle a small amount of sweetened condensed milk over each cookie, creating a luscious glaze that will caramelize during baking.
- Place the cookie-laden baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, watching for golden-brown edges and slightly soft centers.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to rest on the baking sheet for five minutes, enabling them to set and firm up slightly.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack, letting them cool completely or serving warm for maximum indulgence.
Notes
- Soften butter at room temperature for easy mixing and smoother cookie texture.
- Use a light hand when mixing dry ingredients to prevent tough, dense cookies.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to prevent excessive spreading and create chunkier cookies.
- Swap out nuts for seeds or omit completely for nut-free diets, maintaining the same measurement.
