If you have been following me for very long then you know that I LOVE Coconut! Just take a look…German Chocolate cookies, Italian Cream Cookies, Samoa Cheese Pie, and even my Snow ball Cookies has Coconut extract! :0 Needless to say, today’s recipe will be another coconut recipe! So for all my fellow Coconut lovers, this is a recipe for Coconut Butterscotch Cookies!
I know that was a mouth full to say but these are also a mouth full of moist, yummy cookies! 🙂 Before I get into this recipe; I have a small confession! This recipe was actually partly my husband’s idea!
So I already had a recipe for coconut cookies and he was craving something with butterscotch and thought of these cookies! I thought that maybe he was on to something and so we picked up some Butterscotch Chips and I re adapted this recipe just a tad and Voila!
Making Coconut Butterscotch Cookies…
- Preheat oven to 350
- Sift Flour, baking soda and salt and set aside.
- Cream butter and Sugars over medium low speed with mixer for abou 2 minutes.
- Add Egg and Vanilla and mix another minute.
- Add half of the flour mixture; scrape sides and then add the remaining flour.
- Using a spoon or spatula- mix in Butterscotch chip and coconut until well combined. This dough will be a little thick.
- Scoop out onto a large cookie sheet with a medium size cookie scoop or form about 1 in. balls with hand at about 1 in. apart.
- bake in oven for 7-8 Minutes- Mine take about 8. The middle will still seem a little under cooked.
- Allow to cool on pan 3-4 Minutes before removing.
Please let me know if you love these as much as we do! I am sure my husband will be pleased to know that his Cookies are a hit! 😉
