Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Seven Layers
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Measure and arrange all ingredients for smooth preparation.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy to create the tender cookie base.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract to bind ingredients and distribute flavor evenly.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even mixing without clumps.
- Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to keep the dough tender without overmixing.
- Fold in the 7 Layers: Gently fold in butterscotch chips, white chocolate chips, rolled oats, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts to bring texture and flavor.
- Scoop and Bake: Drop tablespoon-sized scoops of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing adequately to allow spreading. Bake 10-12 minutes until edges are golden but centers remain soft.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring perfect texture.
Notes
- Use room temperature butter and eggs for even mixing.
- Do not overmix dough to maintain tender, chewy cookies.
- Chill dough for 30 minutes before baking for thicker cookies.
- Choose high-quality butterscotch and white chocolate chips for best flavor.
- Remove cookies from oven when edges are set but centers are slightly soft to avoid dryness.
