Butterscotch, Coconut, and Toffee Cookies

Butterscotch chips, coconut flakes, and toffee bits combine to create an almost caramel-like flavor and interesting texture in these cookies.

Today is Hubby’s birthday so I thought I’d share a recipe that he helped to develop. That man never ceases to amaze me. I recently found out that his all-time favorite cookie is the oatmeal raisin cookie (I had no clue) and then he drops another bombshell. He loves butterscotch. I have exactly one recipe containing butterscotch in my over 1200 posts on this blog. Seriously, who is this guy?

So I wanted to make a variation on my favorite chocolate chip cookie that used the new bag of butterscotch chips I just bought. I was rummaging through my baking pantry trying to decide what would pair well with butterscotch. I have to admit, since I clearly never bake with it, I was somewhat at a loss…

I decided to add some toffee and some beautiful unsweetened coconut flakes to the mix. I crossed my fingers that it would all work out, and you know what? It did. In an amazing way that makes me wish I had known about Hubby’s love of butterscotch a few years ago. Better late than never, I suppose. So there might be more butterscotch recipes coming your way. Any suggestions?
