Butterscotch Coconut Cookies

Posted on May 23, 2012
Hi, Everybody! I hope you’re all having a great week! I’m so excited to share this recipe with you today, because it’s my new favorite cookie recipe! These Butterscotch Coconut Cookies are AMAZING! I don’t think I’ve ever made a cookie this good. It’s sweet and chewy and the butterscotch and coconut are so good together! If you’re looking for a new cookie recipe and have never made these before, you NEED to try them! The recipe comes from the Williams Sonoma Baking Book, which is one of my favorite baking cookbooks! Here’s the recipe for you…

DIRECTIONS

1. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Next, in your electric mixer bowl, cream together butter, sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract and egg, until you get a smooth, creamy mixture.

2. Slowly with the mixer running, begin adding the flour mixture to the butter mixture until it is well mixed. Then, add the coconut and butterscotch chips, mix well, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20 minutes.

3. Preheat your oven to 325 deg F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls (leave space in between the cookies on the baking sheet as they will spread out).  Bake for 15 minutes, or until the edges are nice and golden brown.

    Hello Maria,
    This looks and sounds amazing – my husband loves coconut and doesn’t like chocolate chip cookies – this could be just the perfect alternative – I am glad you stopped by that I might return the visit and become your newest follower!

    Excellent cookies. I added pecans but otherwise made them exactly as the recipe is written.

      Hi Sue! Glad you enjoyed these cookies too! They are one of our favorites, and I just recently made them again too, with a few tweaks. Pecans sound delicious in these! Hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend! 🙂
