  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract to bind ingredients and distribute flavor evenly.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt to ensure even mixing without clumps.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
