It’s a cookie kind of day today. It has been one of those weeks where I’ve needed chocolate on hand from first thing in the morning until late at night. Chocolate and coffee.
I actually made a batch of these brownie cookies earlier in the week and was craving s’mores so I added marshmallows to the mix. Ended up with some pretty crazy looking cookies but booooy were they good.
Today these cookies have a magic bar kind of thing going on. While the graham cracker crumbs and sweetened condensed milk didn’t make it to the mix, the coconut, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and walnuts sure did.
Can I just say how much I love butterscotch? I don’t bake with butterscotch chips very often but when I do I am always in awe of just how much I LOVE butterscotch. Like, really, really love it. (Especially in this Butterscotch Banana Bread!)
These cookies are literally bursting with chocolate flavor. So prepare yourself accordingly. The batter is outrageously chunky due to the addition of a cup each of the coconut, butterscotch and chocolate chips, and the walnuts.
I used a bit of espresso powder to really amp up that chocolate flavor. If you don’t have any or can’t find, don’t let that stop you from making these cookies.
There is just something magical about that shiny, thin crust layer on the top of these cookies that begs you to take a bite. They are just so pretty and dare I say hearty. Can cookies be hearty? With all those chips and walnuts in there, they certainly have a ton of texture and flavor going on. This batch makes 3 dozen. Perfect for a small gathering with just enough extra to send a few home with your friends.
