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.

Amazing cookies! The batter is so rich, and the cookies turned out exactly like your picture! Fudgy, full of chocolate flavor…not too sweet. A real brownie cookie! I used pecans, chocolatechips, dark chocolate chunks and the coconut. These are my new favorite chocolate cookie! Thank you!!!

Hi
I don’t have espresso powder and kosher salt and butter scotch chips. Can u substitute any alternative
thanku
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
You can make without the espresso powder, use regular salt, and any chips could be substituted for the butterscotch. It’s a pretty flexible recipe 🙂

Ann says
I was wondering if I can just use a box of brownie mix and just add the ingredients mentioned on here. You think that’ll work.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
I’ve never tried this…
Melissa says
Thanks for visiting my site! I hope you try the Creamy Lemon Chicken. You won’t be sorry! And I will have to make these cookies and eat them all by myself. Alas, nobody in my family likes nuts (and half of them are allergic to nuts). But me–I love them! This sounds like the perfect cookie!
Nicole says
These definitely look magical! I’m mesmerized by the chocolate 😀

Carol at Wild Goose Mama says
Wow these cookies are RICH. You really really were craving chocolate via a cookie transfusion.
Well done! I had to pin this recipe. Looks like Hit to me!
I don’t normally talk about ME, but please take note of the slight name change from Wild Goose Tea.
New web design too—whoopee and adding new features along the way.
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
LOL! You crack me up Carol – a transfusion would have probably been quicker at least 😉 I can’t wait to see your new site!
