Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Coconut Cookies


I know, I'm so creative with naming things.

These cookies are my uncle's favorite. I made them as an experiment one day, you know- one of those throw random things in the bowl and hope they come out okay things. They came out perfect, and always make an appearance at our family gatherings now!

Unless you don't like coconut or butterscotch, I can pretty much guarantee you will love these. Not to toot my own horn or anything... but it's true, they're so chewy and just perfectly perfect. Like a cookie should be.

  2. I wonder how these would be with craisins.... Thinking about dividing the batter in half and doing half with butterscotch chips and the other with craisins. Do you think that would effect the moisture in the cookie?
